Article not written by me but i know it is a helpful article.
Last weekend, on a beautiful Colorado spring day, I went for my first bike ride of the season.
I was huffing and puffing up an especially endless hill, gazing longingly at the top -- it felt miles away. I’ll never make it, I groaned. I’m just not strong enough yet.
All of a sudden, I had an idea. What if, instead of staring at the top of the hill as I climbed, I fixed my gaze a few feet in front me? I stopped looking at my end goal and gave myself permission to focus on riding a little at a time. Lo and behold, I made it.
Even more shocking, I enjoyed it.
This experience was a powerful reminder of a very simple lesson: When facing a challenge, small steps are usually more effective than big ones.
