The Thing About Baby Steps

Taking baby steps doesn't mean we are immature.  It means we are smart.  If we were mandated to move from the cradle to the marathon or even from a crawl to a marathon we would never even try because we would know the challenge was too much.  Baby steps assure goal achievement.  And yet each new year or new season or new month or even new day we resolve to achieve much more than is possible.  Is it any surprise that we don't accomplish our resolutions?  Isn't today a good time, with this first day of the shortest month of the year, to embrace baby steps?  They will get us to where we want to go.
