How Do You Eat an Elephant?

One bite at a time.

So often we look at the big picture and become overwhelmed with the size of the task in front of us, then get frustrated and give up before we even begin.

My problem is that I'm always trying to eat the entire elephant in one sitting rather than taking it one bite at a time.

I don't have to be sober for the rest of my life, I just have to be sober today. 

I don't have to make the hard amends, I just have to do the ones I can do and worry about the rest later.

I don't have to change the world, I just have to change my little corner of it.

I don't have to be perfect, I just have to be a little bit better today than I was yesterday. 

Inches turn into miles.

Progress, not perfection.
