Little by little a little become alot.



Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.

- Howard Zinn
 
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

- Mark Twain 
 
 
 
 Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.
Henry Ford
 
 
 
If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.
Stephen R. Covey
 
 
 
I dream of men who take the next step instead of worrying about the next thousand steps.
Theodore Roosevelt


All changes, even positive ones, are scary. Attempts to reach goals through radical or revolutionary means often fail because they heighten fear. But the small steps of kaizen disarm the brain's fear response, stimulating rational thought and creative play.
Robert Maurer




As you experience success in applying kaizen to clear goals like weight loss or career advancement, remember to hold onto its essence: an optimistic belief in our potential for continuous improvement.
Robert Maurer 
 
 
Kaizen and innovation are the two major strategies people use to create change. Where innovation demands shocking and radical reform, all kaizen asks is that you take small, comfortable steps toward improvement.
Robert Maurer

Small actions are at the heart of kaizen. By taking steps so tiny that they seem trivial or even laughable, you'll sail calmly past obstacles that have defeated you before. Slowly – but painlessly! – you'll cultivate an appetite for continued success and lay down a permanent new route to change.
Robert Maurer
 


Confront the difficult while it is still easy; accomplish the great task by a series of small acts.
Tao Te Ching




A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Lao Tzu


Have a bias toward action – let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Indira Gandhi


The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen.
Lee Iacocca



The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs...one step at a time.
Joe Girard 
 
 
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret to getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks and then starting on the first one.
Mark Twain

Nature tops the list of potent tranquilizers and stress reducers. The mere sound of moving water has been shown to lower blood pressure.
Patch Adams 
 
 
 “Don't find fault, find a remedy.” —Henry Ford
 

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
Alfred Adler

Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words.
Alfred Adler 
 
 
"Champions are propelled by desire, not compelled by fear." - Denis Waitley
 
 
Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken.
Isabel Allende


One of the marks of successful people is they are action oriented. One of the marks of average people is they are talk oriented. — BTracy


 
  “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”


  ”All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.” ~Buddha



“Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.”



It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.” ~Proverb
 
 
Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan. -Tom Landry
 
  Achieving goals requires taking small steps. Success reinforces success.
These are the simple steps I’ve been taking to reach my goals:

1. Break big goals/tasks down into smaller, doable tasks.
2. Acknowledge and revel in your accomplishments, however small. Feel the pride and joy of the win.
3. Take baby steps.
4. Succeed.
5. Feel the pride.
6. Take more baby steps.
7. Keep moving.
8. Know that each small win is an accomplishment unto itself.
9. Keep moving.
10. Open up to bigger things as you keep moving.
It’s easier to make a comeback from a little tumble than from a steep fall. It’s a shorter road back up. So, baby steps, slow and steady. Now start with one foot and go for it.
 
 
 
You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anyone." ~Mary Angelou

We have to let go of the suspicion and doubt, which hurt us more than what they are supposed to defend us from. ~ Sogyal Rinpoche
