step by step

I always tell my little niece, ‘Step by step. Don’t run yet. Walk slowly, and when you’re big enough and steady enough to stand on your own, then you can run.’ Watching her grow, I realize I need to remind myself of the same thing. Sometimes life makes us want to run before we’re ready. But even when everything feels like it’s falling apart, maybe all we can do is take it one step at a time. Eventually, we’ll be strong enough to run again
