The only way to get to the top is to take one step at a time.⠀

Goals and vision are critically important to success. However, the only way to get to those goals or vision is to take one step at a time. When we lose sight of the next step and start looking at the final destination, it is all too easy to stumble and fall. We also don’t have the ability to just fly up to the end either. We have to do the hard and tedious work of going up step by step.⠀

In volleyball, we often refer to this as playing one point at a time or even one contact at a time. This mindset is also critical to being able to play to win versus playing not to lose. When a team grasps this concept, all pressure is gone and they are able to play to their full potential as they are able to stay fully in the present rather than looking back or looking ahead.⠀

Next time you feel overwhelmed or under pressure, consider trying to just identify the NEXT step and just take it. I promise it’s the best way forward and upward!
