You do not have to have everything figured out tonight.
You do not have to know exactly where you will be six months from now.
You only need to ask yourself:
“What is one small thing I can do tomorrow?”
Make the phone call.
Send the application.
Have the conversation.
Save a little money.
Take care of your health.
Apologize if you need to.
Start the project you have been delaying.
Open the book.
Write down the plan.
Or simply get out of bed and try again.
One small step may not seem powerful when you take it.
But small steps repeated over time can take you much farther than you imagined.
And when life feels uncertain, do not forget the things that are still within your control.
You cannot control every person’s behavior.
You cannot control every outcome.
You cannot control how quickly certain doors open.
But you can control how you respond.
You can choose patience.
You can choose perseverance.
You can choose gratitude.
You can choose courage.
