An Everyday Expression of Hope and Its Potential

An Everyday Expression of Hope 

A Little…Then A Lot

February 20, 2015 by John Hembree Leave a Comment

Little By Little“A little is a lot in the beginning, if a lot is what you are looking for in the end.”  Jedediah Grant

How do you finish a marathon?

You take a first step.

How does a roaring standing ovation begin?

By one person taking two hands and clapping them together.

The mightiest river begins as a drop of water in some distant and probably remote land.

If you want to read a book, you must take into account the first word.

If you want to be one who spends hours in prayer, the first moment will get you started.

When any of us set a goal for our lives, we must first have a plan to begin.

Take one long range goal that you have and take a first step…today.

Here’s mine.

One of many.

I wish to one day be a published author.

Today, I will contact one literary agent.

Just one.

Then tomorrow, two.

Then the next day, three.

No one in life says, “Oh, if I had just a little success.”

But you do have to work toward the beginning of a little success on your way to a lot.
