This weekend, thousands of runners pounded the pavements of London. Some sprinted, some just got through - but every single one of them moved forward. With even more people lining the streets to cheer them on. The London Marathon isn’t just about finishing a race. It’s a reminder of something bigger: we can do hard things. And maybe the most beautiful part? We don't do them in giant leaps. We do them one small, determined step at a time.
Hard Things Aren’t Just for “Other People”
It’s easy to think the people doing the impossible are somehow different. The ones doing hard things like running marathons, changing careers, building businesses, raising families. Surely, they have more motivation, more willpower, more something. But here's the truth: you are just as capable.
Doing hard things isn’t about being fearless. It’s about feeling scared or overwhelmed... and taking a tiny step anyway. Whether that’s putting your trainers on for the first time in months, or starting that side hustle. Just take the first step.
The Power of Tiny Steps
No one crosses a marathon finish line in one go. They do it by moving one foot, and then the other. Again and again. Past the tiredness, past the doubts, past the urge to quit at mile 20 when everything hurts. And real life? It’s no different.
Small steps are the real magic. They’re quiet, unglamorous, easy to overlook, but they stack up. And before you know it, you’re stronger, calmer, more you.
What’s Your Next Small Step?
You don't have to overhaul your life today. You don’t have to become the poster kid for wellness. You just have to take one tiny step in any route you want to go in.
