“You Don’t Control the Timeline—You Control the Next Action”
“You can't make time go faster or success come sooner. The only thing you can control is the next action.”
— James Clear
This quote hit me because so many capable, purpose-driven people (including myself) get stuck waiting—waiting for clarity, confidence, permission, or the perfect moment.
But growth doesn’t happen all at once.
Leadership isn’t built in leaps.
Transformation begins with one intentional next step.
In my own journey, I’ve learned that progress comes when I stop trying to control outcomes and start committing to consistent, aligned actions—especially when it comes to personal growth and leadership.
The leaders who make the greatest impact aren’t the ones who rush the process. They’re the ones who stay intentional, coachable, and faithful with the next right step.
Next step:
What’s one small, intentional action you can take this week to grow as a leader or move closer to your purpose?
