The magnitude of your next step

does not matter nearly so much.

What really matters

is the direction.
 To turn your life around,
you must first turn your focus around.

To move toward
your goals,
you must first
be facing them.
Just a small step in a positive direction
is a step nonetheless.

Just one small

positive thought
has the power
to turn you
away from years of
negative actions.
Every moment is a choice.

And every moment

you can choose to
orient your life
in a positive direction.
You don't have to take big strides,
for the small steps will get you
there just as reliably.

Just make sure that

each thought, each action,
each feeling,
however insignificant
it might seem,
points toward
where you desire to go.
 Maintain a positive direction,
and no matter what else happens,
you'll always be making progress.

Keep yourself pointed

in the direction
of your dreams,
and every day
will bring you closer.
The magnitude of your next step
does not matter nearly so much.

What really matters

is the direction.
