It is credited to Desmond Tutu, the South African bishop and theologian to have once said , “There is only one way to eat an elephant: a bite at a time.” I was honestly awed by that statement the first time I came across it.
Every great endeavour appears daunting and overwhelming at the beginning. It takes faith and courage to take the first step. And more importantly, it takes wisdom to split the huge task into small chunks and take a bite at a time.
Someone put it this way: “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into smaller manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”
Do not be discouraged by the length of the distance to cover. Instead, be encouraged that you can arrive by taking a step at a time. You can indeed swallow that elephant!
“With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.” (Psalm 18:29)
Remain inspired!
