Ok...did you move up at least one level after running through this exercise? Consider even one level as huge!!! Think back on how significant each baby step was when first learning to walk. Give yourself the same praise and recognition that you and others gave you back then. Apply these "little steps" and the deserved praise everyday and in every situation.
