Little things.

Some of the greatest ideas… can start with the smallest of things.  As the old cliche’ goes… a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.  But it is true.

To reiterate.  A mathematical question was posed to me today.
If it takes six men, to dig 36 holes in two hours, how long will it take one man to dig half a hole.

The answer is… there is no half of a hole.  As soon as the shovel pitches that first bit of dirt… you have a hole.  (Arguably, and I did…. it may not be the size hole which is required for the project… but nonetheless.  I digress.)

The fact of it is…..  some pretty amazing things start with the smallest of seeds.  It just needs to be planted and nurtured.

Otherwise… it is merely bird food.

And this is where it came to me tonight… as I sliced into an apple.
If we want to do something great… it will most likely take a considerable amount of work.  It make take a lot of doing and effort.  But it has to start somewhere… with something.  The smallest seeds eventually turn into impressive trees.  But you can find evidence of such… in the midst of the fruit.

The smallest thing…the tiniest seed….  the first move in the right direction…  and we have begun.

The littlest step.  And there it will begin.
