I make my living quoting my dad. I admired him immensely and I enjoy sharing the lessons he taught me.
He used to tell me "there's nothing out there that you and I can't eat, one bite at a time."
I used to think this was about breaking challenges into manageable pieces and working until we'd accomplished our goal.
I still appreciate that piece of wisdom in the comment, but I've also come to realize the comfort of the "you and I" part.
My dad and I were a team. Together, I perceived us to be invincible.
Let me encourage you to break your big challenges into little pieces and eat 'em up a bite at a time.
And I hope you have teammates that make you feel invincible, but whether you do or not, go out there and take a bite out of your challenge and when you've chewed it up, take another bite.
