I came across this quote:

"Do not wait for conditions to be perfect to begin. Beginning makes conditions perfect."

I've been thinking about that. I don't agree with the second part, since the beginning of most things is a mess as you flounder about learning as you go, but, the quote has me pondering the power of taking even the tiniest step to do something.

While pondering this, another concept I've heard of came to mind: that of the fact that we are actually time travelers. In fictional stories (as far as I'm aware), if someone jumps back in time, they worry about altering the timeline by even the most inconsequential seeming action. You and I have the power to change our whole future, and thus have a powerful impact on the future of the world, especially when it comes to ourselves and how we interact with the world directly around us, where we have the most influence.

Both of the above concepts brought this final thought to mind:

"The future will be kind, for I shall create it." (I'm not exactly sure If I'm quoting it 100% correctly.)

Create a future that is kind to yourself. Small steps can be very powerful.
