Tonight, I’m rewatching old episodes of How I Met Your Mother. (It’s something I do when I’m tired — I reread my favorite books, I rewatch familiar movies and series.)
There’s an episode where Mitch (the Naked Man) asks the Mother what her dream is. When she tells him, he replies:
“Then everything you do from now on should be in service of that.”
I paused the episode. I needed to write that down.
Too often my dream feels completely out of reach, because it feels so big.
This was a good reminder. I know very well the cumulative effect of small steps, taken consistently.
You don’t have to reach the dream today.
You just have to keep walking.
That’s what I want to remember.
