Sometimes
the gravity of the change you want to see can put you off from
starting. You look at the big picture and recognise the substantial gap
between where you are and where you want to be and allow it to
intimidate you from making a start.
Do not fear starting, begin with a small commitment to the change. For example, maybe you have a huge fitness transformation that you want to see, so you could start with a short 30 minute workout daily, yes it may not in the long run be enough to produce the final picture you desire but remember, starting with a small commitment to your dream is laying the foundation for the larger commitments you will eventually make.
You need to start somewhere knowing that you will increase and grow from there. Start with a commitment that is so easy to make that you can easily be consistent with it, give yourself time, allow that one to become a habit, then step up your game, move to the next level and keep growing from there.
This goes for anything, don't wait until you have it all together, start today, start small, knowing that you are simply laying foundations and that piece by piece the big vision will be accomplished.
Maybe it's your prayer life, maybe you desire to be spending hours in prayer daily but there are days that pass by that you haven't prayed at all. You resolve that from today every day I'll pray for 2 hours and then end up frustrated and feeling condemned when you don't even come close to it. Start with a small commitment maybe 15 minutes in the morning 15 in the evening, yes definitely you should spend more than that, but start somewhere and build from there.
Start today.
"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin" Zechariah 4:10a
