Today's quote from the book:
“Even small steps create momentum, and momentum builds confidence.”
Doing What You Know, Chapter 11, p. 178
A lot of people underestimate the power of small consistent action because they’re focused on immediate results. They want dramatic change overnight, and when that doesn’t happen, they start doubting themselves or stop altogether.
But momentum rarely begins with massive action.
It usually starts with something simple. One workout. One page written. One difficult phone call. One decision to show up again today instead of quitting.
Small steps may not feel impressive in the moment, but they create movement. Movement creates momentum. And momentum changes the way you think about yourself. The more evidence you give yourself that you can follow through, the more confidence begins to grow naturally.
Confidence is rarely something you wait for first.
More often, it’s something you build by continuing to move.
