The starting place for change is accepting oneself and taking an interest in one’s inner world.*
Edward Deci

Isn’t it odd. We can only see our outsides, but nearly everything happens on the inside.**
Charlie Mackesy

I wait for the world to change, but
all the time, I miss opportunities to
magic something into being
inside of me –
Even some loss into a gain:
What was taken from me I’ll use
To create a new home
The stone the builder refused
Will be the head cornerstone^.

Big goals have their place, but are
nothing without the smaller goals
achievable today:
the mis-step come from always
having a big goal highlighted but
never funnelling it down
into smaller, shorter term
achievable goals.^^
