Step by Step

I have mentioned this in a few previous posts, but I wanted to write a little bit more about it today. The big reason I wanted to try this adventure of intentionality was I want to improve my life. I want it to be a good life. A productive life. A life that allows me to live out my dreams and purpose.

In the past I have looked for quick fixes, panaceas, and silver bullets to make everything better. To solve my problems and let me live the care free life of plenty that I dream about. However, I have been coming to realize that that is just like the lottery mindset towards wealth creation. It can happen, but it won't. There are major life changers out there, but they are few and far between. And they usually require a lot of work anyway.

So this quest is in part an acceptance of the reality that where I want to go is only going to be reached by following a never ending path of small improvements. I will never "arrive", and it will never be easy, but it is a road worth traveling. Even with taking small steps over time, they will add up into the "big thing" that I was looking for.
