The One Thing You CAN Get Done Every Day
Big progress.
Little progress.
Old progress.
New progress.
Short progress.
Long progress.
High progress.
Low progress.
Bad progress, good progress.
Fat progress, skinny progress.
Pretty progress, ugly progress.
Perfect progress, flawed progress.
It doesn’t matter what kind of progress you’re making. The amazing thing about progress is that it all counts.
What doesn’t count:
Stationary. Standing still. Stagnation. Inaction. Avoidance.
There is never a new view from the stationary position. Stagnant is never going to wake up one day, all of a sudden refreshed and renewed. Inaction will never lead to desired results.
Even if it’s bad progress, it’s progress, as long as we’re learning something and then moving on.
As long as you’re moving, you get the award for making headway, the cheers for keeping on when the keeping-on gets tough, the check mark for progress.
Yes! I feel this way about driving in heavy traffic, so it makes sense that it should apply to real life too. Thanks Whitney. 🙂
Yes! – thank you for posting this simple yet profound message. I’ve had lots of ‘baby stepping’ progress lately. At first I would get lost in researching, planning, organizing. But when I began/begin taking action — even though at times it felt/feels like an awkward dance of forward and backwards — life happens and a direction starts to become more clear.
Tonight is the first night I’ve stumbled upon your blog (via Instagram). God must have lead me here, this post was everything I needed to read tonight, “Even if it’s bad progress, it’s progress, as long as we’re learning something and then moving on.” Thank you.
