I am sharing a wonderful little poem, one of my favourites, by Robert Heywood, titled “By Degrees” -

One step upon another, 

And the longest walk is ended; 

One stitch upon another, 

And the largest rent is mended; 

One brick upon another, 

And the highest wall is made; 

One flake upon another, 

And the deepest snow is laid.

Then do not look disheartened 

On the work you have to do, 

And say that such a mighty task 

You never can get through. 

But just endeavour day by day 

Another point to gain; 

And soon the mountain which you fear 

Will prove to be a plain.
