This quote has lived in my mind for the last six months. It keeps coming back, every time I find myself chasing something bigger.
It gives me the courage to go after the bigger things and to keep going after them. And when the small things start going wrong, it reminds me not to worry, because my focus is no longer on the small things.
To grow, you have to let go. Bad habits, small clients, needy clients. The rats in your life. You cannot hunt a lion while you are still chasing rats. The appetite has to change before the outcome can.
That shift in what you are willing to tolerate is where the progress actually starts.
