I believe we all want to make progress in our lives, and of course, progress will mean different things to all of us.
Getting from where we are now to where we want to be at some point in the future can seem daunting and riddled with perceived obstacles.
However, the power of making a start and taking small positive actions and repeating this over time can make a huge difference. In the early stages it can seem a waste of time with the feeling that nothing is really changing.
But by taking continuous steps the change over time can be significant!
This is also akin to compound interest and investing. Nothing very much happens for a while and can seem boring and even a waste of time to some. But by taking small positive steps over time things can get exciting as the power of compounding takes effect creating a steep upward curve (and using the investing analogy translates into greater wealth).
However, to get to this stage we may have to endure the dull and boring bit at the front end as well as perhaps a dose of stimulation to get started!
So making progress (whatever that may be) is about taking small actions and repeating these over time as the outcome at the end is likely to be worth it.
