Small things that yield you big results. One small action can set off a cascade of many other great things to happen to you during the rest of your day but it’s not always easy to see this. For e.g. Exercising isn’t always easy to get up and do. It takes time and effort, right? It may even feel like we’re making a sacrifice when we head off to the gym or go out and run especially if we’ve been able to stick to a routine in the past and we’re always back to square one or worse.
However, getting up at the crack of dawn, strapping on your shoes and going for a walk or run even for just 15 to 30 minutes or a gym work out? It sets off a cascade effect for the rest of your day. You can work out your inner demons as you’re running and doing exercises. You feel more energy and confidence. You end up eating better. You feel more self control. Before you know it, you’re looking better, making better decisions, you are happier and you’re quitting bad habits. People notice that you’re glowing now. It started with one, small, tiny but hard to start action. Sure, you may or may not feel this way on day one but a few days or weeks in, the effect will happen.
Then leveraging it for just 30 minutes a day, you can start for just 30 or so minutes a day, you can start to see amazing results. You can get commissions up to $4k which can allow you to work less or even retire yourself from your j-o-b. No more alarm clocks or bumper to bumper commutes during rush hour. You may end up travelling more and doing more with family and friends. You could volunteer to worthy causes that lights your heart up.
All from one small, tiny action.
The little things add up. As Johann Lavatar says: “Act well at the moment and you have performed a good action for all eternity.” Focus on the moments. The small daily actions. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results.
