One Small Step

Kris Evergreen here. Today is the anniversary of the Moon landing — July 20th, 1969, the day a human being first set foot on the Moon and said those famous words about one small step.

I’ve always loved that phrase. One small step. Because the thing we remember as a giant leap was, in the actual moment, a single careful footstep onto unfamiliar ground. The enormous was made of the small. It always is.

That’s a good thing to carry into a Monday. Whatever feels too big in front of you — the project, the change, the goal that seems impossibly far off — it gets done the same way the Moon got walked on. One small step. Then another. The ten percent rule is just the home version of the same truth: you don’t leap the distance, you step it.

Take your one small step today. The giant leap is made of exactly those.

The enormous is made of the small. You don’t leap the distance — you step it.

What’s the one small step you could take today toward something that feels big?
