In Tough Situations

While there are a few tough situations that get resolved in a day thanks to a stroke of genius or a bit of luck, they generally take longer to resolve.

And, very often, after making significant progress, we feel very stuck.

During such times, I remind myself to ask a simple question – “Are we better now than we were when we started?”

The answer, almost always, is yes thanks to a bucket load of hard work. The issue, of course, is that we forget that and take the progress for granted. This question reminds me to take it one step at a time.

One step at a time. One chunk at a time. One minute at a time. One day at a time.. that’s how great things are built.
