Ozzy Day 22 One step

A story is written one word at a time.

A marathon is run one step at a time.

I will become the best in the world one small step at a time.

I'm always too focused on the big picture. It's what makes me a great visionary. But it makes me a terrible procrastinator. I worry about steps years in the future. I must relax and focus on what matters right now. I need to build the bridge to the future. A small positive change here. A choice to work instead of relax. A choice to pursue rather than flee. These are the things that will make me the best in the world. No one can just become the best. Or become amazing because they choose too. Even the best people I look up to and admire started out in similar situations. But all we see is the finished products. Not the thousands of incomplete ones. Or the hundreds of ones kept only to themselves. It's difficult for me. Terribly so. But everyone struggles with different aspects of life. A creator I look up to struggles with the things I find effortless. While he excels in the things that hold me back from greatness. I must overcome these shortcomings to reach my peak. I don't need to become the best and what I'm bad at. Just good enough so that it doesn't keep me from what I'm best at. My goals are like a mountain in the distance. Looming over everything. I want to reach it but it seems like I never will. I have been walking towards it for years now. But it's still as far as ever. I need to remember that each step no matter how small brings me forward. I don't need to run the whole way there. The journey is also part of the fun. I need to appreciate each step. Each flower on the way. The sounds of the birds that fly by as I walk. If I make each step miserable I will never make it. So smile and walk on. Eventually I will reach the mountain. Eventually I will climb it. But it starts now. One step at a time.
