I was rereading DR for the third time tonight and I came something I wanted to share. We discussed in my previous thread how MWD said to consider small favors as baby steps. Towards the end of Chapter 7, MWD talks about how the reader may be telling his/herself not to get too excite about small steps in order to protect themselves and not get too excited.

Food for thought.
