Quotables // Slow + Steady

I’ve been wanting to do more fun little projects, so this past weekend I was playing with my tablet and did this quick sketch. A good thought for a Monday morning, I think: Slow + steady.

I am a long distance runner, and when I’m out on the road, it’s all about putting one foot in front of the other. Speed is not my thing, but I can go long just by being unwilling to stop, no matter how slowly I’m going. It’s something I try to apply to other areas of my life as well – just take one little step after another and you’ll end up a lot farther along than you ever thought you would.  Sometimes we sit at the starting line, overwhelmed by the distance we have to cover.  Sometimes we sprint forward and get frustrated or burnt out when we don’t get to the finish as fast we wanted to. But really, that tortoise had the right idea: slow + steady.

Here’s for getting one thing done today! Happy Monday!
