All of these, and more, you can achieve using the "magic" of small steps. Even the minutest of such steps can help you do remarkable things. But sometimes it's hard to take those steps seriously, because they might seem like a pretty ho-hum approach to the Big Goal.

Plus, many of us don't "do" small that well, anyway. So we sometimes find ourselves stuck along the path to our goal or dream—or even still at the starting line. And there we stay, unless we can somehow yank our feet out of the quicksand.

Does that sound like your situation? If so, why not take a single step: just one. Then take another...and another and another. Pretty soon—shazzam!—you're on your way. That's what you can do with small steps. (We call them "turtle-tracks" here, in honor of our mascot.)

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?

Ah, 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.

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 work wonders. Only with those, for example, could I have written the book that launched this site. [Sample chapters of Secrets From the Tortoise coming soon.]

And only with those would I now be living in New Mexico, instead of the rainy and overcast region I escaped by the skin of my teeth. (Gorgeous place, but the climate was a killer.) My point? Small steps rock—IF you take them. Just do one thing...

Ready to try turtle-tracking some of your own stuff? Then go for it. But maybe first check out our free online (and self-directed) course: "What do you Really want?" Just to be sure you're perfectly clear on your goals and dreams. No use wasting those small steps on the wrong target!
