I caved....I started a blog. Why haven't I ever blogged before? Well that's a real simple question to answer. I always figured no one would want to hear me talk (or type for that matter) about random topics. You see, for a long time (21 full years to be exact) I figured there was no use spreading your knowledge unless you had a large enough audience. It wasn't that I didn't want to share my thoughts. It was that I always wanted to share my thoughts in front of packed out rooms. I came to the realization one day that none of that matters. I came to the realization that whether I was impacting one person's life, or 50,000 people's lives, the results were the same.
This brings me to the title of my blog. "One at a Time" was not a preplanned name I've been thinking of for years. It was a name I created literally minutes ago. I chose it because of it's significance in every aspect of life.
The first aspect is what we were just talking about, impacting peoples lives. Influence comes one at a time. It does not matter whether 5 people read my blog. That's 5 more people than I had yesterday. Influence starts with one person at a time.
The second aspect, for me, comes with running. Yes, I'm sorry, I had to include running in my blog. Running, however, is very similar to life. I run one step at a time, one mile at a time, one day at a time. If I take care of each step, then the puzzle begins to fit together. The same can be said for life. We live one day at a time. It is all we can do. Each day is different than the one before it and after it. If you take care of each day the weeks and months will fall into place. It's a simple lesson I learned recently. It has been a great help to me, as I hope it will be a great help to you.
Simply take things one at a time
