Even if this sounds way too simple, which maybe it does, try it anyway. After all, what have you got to lose? And you can use this same tool for any dream that hovers off in the distance. If you're sure it's a true dream for you, just do one thing—take even a single step—and start progressing toward that dream. Maybe map out some steps, if those would help you stay focused.

Want to change a habit or develop a new one? Do it gradually (and often painlessly) with small steps. The same small steps that can help you make other changes, as well—gradually and without uproar.

Herein lies the "magic" of small steps. Even the minutest of these—the smallest increment—can help you do remarkable things. But it can be hard to take those steps seriously, because they lack the grand sweep of dramatic gestures and bold acts. They seem somehow...pedestrian, inconsequential, boring.

So much so that many of us don't "do" small very well. We forget that great dreams can often be achieved through modest actions. And we may thus stall ourselves along the path—or even at the starting line. There we might stay, unless we can somehow yank our feet out of the quicksand.

Don't let that happen to you. Instead, take a single step: just do one thing to move yourself along. Then take another step...and another and another. Pretty soon—shazzam!—you're on your way. That's what you can do with small steps ("turtle-tracks," as we call them here). Click on the link to see such steps working in real life: (Just do one thing.)

The great thing about small steps is that you can apply them to all manner of goals and quests. However grand or modest those may be matters little—if you just keep taking the steps.

So, no need to cross your fingers and hope for the best. Go after what you want instead. And do it in stages, at your own pace and on your own terms. How cool is that?

But maybe you think it’s too late for you. That you're too old, or you’ve waited too long for “do one thing” to work. In that case, let me ask you this: are you still moving and breathing? If the answer's yes, then it ain't "over" unless you let it Be over.

You can still set audacious goals. You can still make changes—IF you harness the magic of small steps, and IF you take those steps consistently. Just do one thing...

Sometimes it’s nice to have a little support, though. If you could use some of that yourself now and then, have a look around. Everything at this site focuses on building your best life—all pretty much with turtle-tracks.

You might find that approach effective yourself, because small steps can and do work wonders. So, if you're ready to give turtle-tracking a try on some of your own stuff, why not go for it? Just do it.

And if you want to be completely sure that you're clear about your goals and dreams, check out our free online (and self-directed) course: "What do you Really want?" You'd hate to waste those small steps on the wrong target!
