Our life is made up of small things. And there’s both a desperate note together with an exciting one… You can’t foresee the consequences of the steps that may seem absolutely ordinary and harmless (like here, in the example – ohhh, that was quite tough indeed…). And there are things which are obviously beyond your control. You haven’t heard a call and missed it. Switched to something else and forgot to call back. And this was someone who really needed you… Or your potential client… Or employer…

However, there are also plenty little things that ARE under your control, and remembering this is very helpful if you are up to something BIG. Preparing yourself to make one giant step may amplify your fear. It’s like someone would force you to swallow the whole apple at once – of course you’d be scared that it would stick in your throat! While starting to go forward bit by bit erases your fears. Yes, this is huge and scary – but look, you are already moving! And this is not that difficult as it seemed to… Little steps engage you into the consistent, continuous movement, and you reach the goal without even noticing! And all this is owing to a simple little trick you’ve played on your mind ;)

Just one warning here. Our life is made up of small things indeed. But a serious mistake of many is losing sight of those big things that stand behind them and that are our real goals. A clear vision of a goal is essential to choose exactly those of thousand small steps that SHOULD be taked to reach it. It prevents you from drowning in the rubbish.

And yes, tiny good things you CAN do for someone DO have a great effect. Sometimes a smile is enough. Enough to make someone’s day… or the whole life ;) :)

P.S. Looking fwd to the promised continuance of the post.
