little by little

remember the movie shawshank redemption? there was a guy who dug his
way out of prison. he would fill his pocket with dirt every night and
empty it into the yard during their break outside. eventually he was
able to dig a tunnel all the way to freedom.
there is a principle that i have been trying to live by. its simple,
little by little. any big job is accomplished little by little.
anything that is huge can only be accomplished by doing a little at a
time. example, if you want to build a high rise building, you would
build it one piece at a time. if you wanted to write a book, you
write one word at a time, one chapter at a time. the end product can
be very large without even realizing it when you go little by little.
i have dreams and goals that are bigger than i can imagine sometime.
as i look back at what i have done with my life i see that everything
great that i have accomplished was done little by little. if i
continue to go forward taking huge goals and attacking them little by
little, that will be the only way to get it done.
sometimes we get overwhelmed and think that we cant do some things in
life but they may not be so far out of reach. phillipians says that
you can do all things with gods help. i believe that. we dont trust
that it is possible sometimes. if we would just take it on little by
little you might be surprised. whether it is college, or retirement,
or building a friendship, it is all accomplished little by little.
