Ever since I set to understand what is happiness, I found myself with one intuitive answer, and many questions, like - is it even realistic to expect that a good job should not only pay my bills but should also make me feel satisfied and fulfilled? How many people are lucky enough out there who are 1) aware of what they're passionate/good at, and 2) making a living doing what they love?

Big goals are important. But perhaps even more important is awareness of the work that it takes to get there. We're putting in work for many things on a daily basis. We know how to do it. What we need to do is to take that first, baby step, in the RIGHT DIRECTION. The direction of our dream. 

Taking that first step in the right direction feels so good. Take that big goal and divide it into small, actionable steps. Once you take that first step, you feel excited, hopeful. Take that second step. Pretty soon, you'll feel a bit of momentum building. I've noticed while working in big corporations over the last 15 years or so that people don't believe at first in aggressive corporate annual goals. A CEO with good leadership skills often is able to inspire them to take the steps needed to move forward. But what really ends up making a difference is the FIRST SMALL WIN. Seeing the results is what keeps us going. Seeing that our actions trigger even the smallest successes is what REALLY motivates us. And we keep going.
