Greatness In Small Steps

No matter how small we may be, we are all capable of great things.
Does a ladybug ever stop because it encounters a pebble in the road?
No.
So you too, need not stop when there is an obstacle.
If you want to get around it, you can.
All greatness comes from making small steps first.

Truer words were never spoken, Evita. Being in an “against all odds” situation is often what makes us become all we can be. This is like a little sermonette. Thank you.
Such a lovely and appealing macro. Like the soft focus and lighting. A beautiful capture of this lady bug and it’s environment.
lovely ladybug
@ GINNIE – Thank you so much Ginnie – your feedback is so very much appreciated! I am glad you enjoyed this scene :)
@ JOHN MASLOWSKI – Thank you John! It was a pleasure to capture :)
@ BOB – Thanks for stopping by BoB and the comment :)
Hi Evita,
We all face obstacles in our life. It’s what we do when we come upon these that really show our true greatness. If it’s something we believe deeply in, we CAN find a way beyond that obstacle. And much like the ladybug, small as she is, can fly to great places. Just like we can, when we really believe in ourselves…
Great message Evita!
You took the photo? I love it. You should really release a coffee table book. :)
You would have no way of knowing what a powerful animal the ladybug is for me. But seeing her here today was a fortuitous reminder of where I’ve been and where I’m going, and I thank you for it.
Beautiful photo, Evita.
@ LANCE – Thank you Lance and wise words you have included – it really is all about how we choose to overcome our obstacles.
We are creatures capable of greatness – may we never forget that, no matter what comes our way, we CAN handle anything, we just have to decide and start with no matter what small step, but move in the direction that we want or need nonetheless.
@ CHRIS EDGAR – Hi Chris, yes I did :) I love capturing nature!!! When we go out sometimes with the camera, I never go with the intention to take photos, I enjoy my time in nature and simply capture what touches me, inspires me, motivates me, or moves my spirit.
Thanks about the coffee table book idea. I would actually love to make an inspirational book or e-cards or something with my words and photos, it is thus great to hear that kind of feedback!
@ CHANIA GIRL – Thank you and you are so welcome! It never ceases to amaze me the wonderful connections so many of us make with nature and the symbolism or meaning that she offers.
I believe though that that is part of the divine plan – to have all around us all the right inpirations that we need :)
The leaves actually enhance the beauty of the composition. Beautiful shot of the lady bug.
@ THOMAS – Thanks Thomas for that great feedback!
