Inches

“Inches make champions”  Coach Lombardi

Well put Coach. 

It will always be about attending to the details. The minutiae and small moments that we tend to grant  a free pass. Overlooked.  Disregarded. Ignored.  Because somehow, we convince ourselves that  “they don’t matter”. Dismissively wondering, “how can they possibly add up?”

But all those things do matter.  

They are intended to accumulate, fortify and reinforce you.  Adding  to the finished product in their own discrete way.   It’s just that they do so on their own time.  And though they seem inconsequential and irrelevant alone, they carry a considerable mass when combined. That certain something that is essential to your long term  building process.  

Perhaps this past week, you attended to some of them. Covering several inches that soon became feet. Soon, those will become yards and then, you will be farther from where and how you began.  What and who you are working towards becomes more apparent. Incremental progress is  being made.  

But more inches need to be gained today and every day going forward. 

Every little thing you do right here right now adds to that something which is infinitely larger than you could ever imagine. You may think you have given all you can. But there is more to be expended. Nothing can be held in reserve. You just have to commit, persist, believe and trust in it. 

You are getting there.  It’s just that you are not who, what or where  you are meant to be yet.  Accept that as an expression of an awareness of the incredible opportunity you possess.  Carry it as such.  

Cover those additional inches each moment now so you can become what you are all  meant to be then.  Because when all is said and done, it’s all about where they will ultimately lead.

Right to where you always wanted to be.
