Tilt #53 - Linking my future with my present

I've been reading James Clear's book, Atomic Habits for over a year now. I listen to podcasts where he's invited to introduce and expand on his idea that "All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows ..." James has a wonderful summary of his book on his website. Well worth the 3 minute read!

Atomic Habits reminds me that although I have some big, bodacious goals in mind, the way to get there is by incremental baby steps, daily and consistently. A dream will stay in Lalaland if no footsteps are going forth in experimentation. And yet, for too many days, I am overwhelmed with the grandiosity of my dream and stuck in action paralysis because of perfectionism and fear.

These three visuals encountered this week were helpful in bringing me back to my starting point. May they encourage you as well. PS - I need to do a better job at recording where I found my visuals to give credit where it is due.
