Removing small pebbles.
It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.
~ Mohammed Ali
Can you keep going with the pebbles still there? Sure, why not?
Would you lose some momentum if you paused to remove the pebbles? Definitely.
But if we don’t pause and remove the pebbles, one by one, we aren’t going to get too far.
