From Small Wins to Big Ones

We just finished a 5k run today. We completed the Global 5k challenge by Runkeeper app. Definitely a small win for long-time hardcore runners out there, but for those who’s just starting out like us, It’s a biggie.

I’m not saying that the veterans don’t appreciate that. I know they’re happy to see more runners because they know and understand how hard it is to start.

I consider it a big win and grateful for it even though I was already able to finish a much farther run (10k). I’m not speaking by bit, but by block. I know and believe that small wins will turn to big ones, eventually. Specially if you’ll make it a habit.

A single sentence, can turn to a paragraph, and a paragraph to an article or to a short story, and eventually (slash hopefully) it’ll turn out to a book.

That’s what I see when I accomplish small tasks, I see the bigger picture much clearer which also drives me to keep going and hopeful that one day, I’ll see that bigger picture for real.
