The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Henry David Thoreau, Walden
The journey of 1000 steps may begin with just one step, but it is still 1000 steps long: one foot in front of the other, consistently, persistently, whether you're feeling it or not. When you're in the flow, it's great! Everything you touch is golden: your work is brilliant, you are joyful and at peace, in harmony with your world. During these times, the journey seems effortless and it feels reasonable to hold big dreams.
