THEME FOR 2023

TRUST THE POWER OF SMALL STEPS

As we have stepped into the New Year, many of us have goals, resolutions and intentions for the New Year. Some of you might have a list of big goals for this year too. But I wonder if the list created at the beginning of 2022 was ticked off completely. While some of you might have achieved your goals, there must be a few others who are disappointed about not placing ticks on all the goals.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. We may start with the right intentions, but there are circumstances beyond our control which challenge us. Similarly, I had planned to launch my blog in the first week of January, and now it’s almost 3 weeks. But I have the same zeal and excitement as I had 3 weeks ago.

The mantra for achieving the goals is: You got to trust in the power of small steps.

Many times, the goals that we set for ourselves seem unachievable. We just keep looking at the finish line but the race towards that finish line may seem long and tedious. Taking small steps and trusting in its ability to reap desired results can be a changemaker. You don’t need to rush, choose your pace and work with it consistently.

To put it simply, you got to break the big goals into small steps. Consider each step to be a milestone and rejoice after completing each step. Doing this will certainly give you a sense of accomplishment and will help you reach your goals.

You may aim to read several books, achieve 10000 walking steps, or complete a long pending draft, visit a new place, start a new business, or spend quality time with family or many other goals. Remember that in order to reach your goals you must begin with the first step.

As a scholar, I often get overwhelmed looking at how far I have to go to complete my PhD. It’s not easy but when I look back at how far I have come, the small steps that I took daily for my career give me a sigh of relief. I cannot foresee the future but taking small steps and acknowledging these steps has given me a sense of fulfilment.

So, do not wait for another year. If you have any goals for 2023, start now. Just take tiny steps daily and keep moving. You’re gonna make it.

With this tone, here I have the first blog post of my life and yes, this is my first step towards creating an inspiring platform for you.

Keep going, keep growing!!!!

Love to all!!!!
