I Read Something Important To Me

Normally, I don't mention much about my personal life. I try and keep it seperate, but I read something that really meant a lot to every aspect of my life.

"I believe my life is built upon layers of little everyday accomplishments. When I think this way, setting goals and taking small risks becomes nothing more than a daily striving to make my life better. Taking some tiny action each day can be much more effective than weeks and months of inactivity followed by a frenzied attempt to make radical changes overnight. It certainly leaves me more serene. When I face a new challenge, I try to take my beginning wherever it may be and start from there.
"No one can make me change. No one can stop me from changing. No one really knows how I must change, not even I. Not until I start. I will remember that it only takes a slight shift in direction to begin to change my life.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step" (Lao-tse)"
(Courage To Change p.3 )

I don't know if that means anything to anyone else, but it gives me the strength to continue. Even when I'm discouraged with my own writing or accomplishments, I can get to work and not worry about the "big picture".
What "slight shift" do you want or need to make?
