“Life is like crossing a river. If you take a huge step-aim for too bigger dreams-then the current will knock you off your feet and carry you away. The way to do it is small steps, you will take hold of life. You will get there in the end.”

“But I'm taking small steps'Cause I don't know where I'm goingI'm taking small steps And I don't know what to say.Small steps,Trying to pull myself togetherAnd maybe I'll discoverA clue along the way!”

“...a river season will last as long as it takes you to reach your newplace. If you get into the river and let it take you where you need tobe, your river season will last an afternoon. But if you fear changeand struggle and hold on to the rocks, the river season will last andlast. It will not end until your body becomes exhausted, your gripweakens, your hands slide off the rocks and the current takes you toyour new place.”

“The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.”

“Imagine yourself as you would like to be, doing what you want to do, and each day, take one step towards your dream. And though at times it may seem too difficult to continue, hold down to your dream. One morning you will awake to find that you are the person you dreamed of doing what you want to do.”

“In life, you take strides forward, but you always take a few steps back. But in the end, if you take more steps forward than backward, you're making progress.”

“It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.”
