One mile is easy in the sunshine, but the way home is a long journey in ice or heavy snow.
One day at work is easy unless political tensions are high and the thought of fighting the continuous battles for the long term seems daunting.
Losing one pound is manageable, but the thought of losing one times 20 pounds feels inconceivable.
Alcoholics Anonymous promotes taking the sobriety challenge one day at a time. It is a good mantra for anyone setting new year's resolutions about anything. Chip away at the goal by starting. Take baby steps. Focus on the now to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
The long view is important and it always helps to have the end in mind before starting a journey. It also helps to focus first on the first step of that effort so that the impossible seems more within reach.
