If we want to change, we need to admit where we are and then figure out where we want to go.

And then the journey can start.

However, even though we might be heading towards a destination, we also need to acknowledge that it is a journey to get there.

Life is full of clichés.

One of many is that life is a journey and not a destination.

I think the real beauty lies in the combination of both.

The fun is in the journey, but parts of life does have a destination to reach.

And as soon as we reach that specific destination, the next destination opens up and the journey never ends.

At least not while we are alive.

Hence the combination of journey and destination.

There is value in both.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.

Sometimes the first step is a baby step; nonetheless still a step.

Patience is a virtue is yet another cliché of life.

However we need to be patient with ourselves when we take on the journey of change as life is an unfoldment and change is a lifelong journey.

Changing our habits takes times and many steps, albeit once again baby steps.

Some days we will walk many steps and other days only a few.

That’s still progress!

If we have managed to stuff up a lot of things in our lives and on a scale of one to ten it feels like we are at a minus five, then moving to a minus four is still progress.

We don’t have to be at ten all the time, as long as we make progress.

We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others, neither to their progress.

We just need to focus on our own growth and progress.

We shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves.

Just celebrate the small victories and keep moving forward.

One baby step at a time!

That’s progress!
