Baby steps
Suzanne Molino Singleton

I exit our Monday editorial meetings sometimes overwhelmed with a list of stories to accomplish in only three days of writing for The Catholic Review. Deadlines loom over our writer heads like dangerous electrical wires.
What I know is this – something I learned in the corporate world long ago from a former fab female mentor – take baby steps. It works.
If I feel stuck on a story while researching or composing it, I ask myself, what’s the next step? Then I take it. Then I step again. And eventually I reach the end of that assignment.
Many items and situations in life can overwhelm us when we view the big picture. Yet if we break things down, and take something step by step, anything is doable.
After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and even God took six steps to create the world.
