Dream Bigger, Act Tinier

ByMatthew

Just wanted to share with you something that was shared with me:

*****

Whenever you think that your needs are not met, you’re telling the story of a future. – Byron Katie

Because the present moment meets all needs; it’s only the future that does not.

That’s why my friend Rich Litvin always reminds us to dream big… dream as big as you can, but then take the smallest step possible toward that dream.

And take it now. That smallest possible step is one you can take right now.

Thanks to Steve Chandler and his great e-mails!
