By Aarav was a young boy who dreamed of becoming a great painter. Every evening, he would scroll through social media and stare at beautiful artworks. He often told himself that one day he would paint something just as amazing.
But dreams are easy; discipline is not. Aarav painted only when he felt inspired. Some weeks he worked hard, and some weeks he did nothing at all. Slowly, his brushes gathered dust and his dream began to fade.
One morning, his grandfather noticed his frustration and quietly handed him a folded note. Aarav opened it and read the words written in neat handwriting: Do something small every day. Even the sun rises a little at a time.
The line stayed in his mind all day. That evening, Aarav picked up his brush and painted a small tree. The next day, he painted a river. The day after that, a bird. Some days his paintings looked ordinary, but he kept going.
Weeks turned into months. When Aarav looked back at his collection of paintings, he was amazed at how far he had come. His art was stronger, his colors more confident, and his hands steady. What once felt impossible had become effortless through simple, steady effort.
He smiled and whispered to himself, Success doesn’t come from big leaps. It comes from small steps, repeated every day.
Moral of the Story:
Consistency always wins. Even slow progress becomes success when you never stop.
