What others perceive
As an extraordinary feat
Is to us
Just consistency
It is amazing what the human being can achieve through day to day ordinary behaviour.
Most all people like the idea of sitting atop the summit, resting, with a grand view.
But few, if any, in most domains, want to take the million steps, one at a time, each of them simple in their own right, to arrive at the top.
A giant step is simply an accumulation of many ordinary smaller steps strung together consistently over time.
