50c Steps in Life

In life neither success nor failure is reached through giant leaps, rather it is the multitude of small steps and little decisions that take you in either direction. We see the giant effects of a million small steps and marvel at the ability one person has to achieve such lofty standards, whatever they may be.

Of all the lessons I have learned during this challenge, this lesson is probably the one that up until now have influenced me the most. Every day you make choices, simple choices that either take you closer to your goals, or pulls you further away. Each of these choices seems trivial, in the bigger scheme of things is will make no difference of you act on this one choice or not. The cumulative effect, on the other hand, is staggering. Before you know it your inconsequential actions have either pulled you into the dark caverns of failure, or propelled you into the stratosphere of success.

Many people, me included, try to find the one thing that will make all the difference in their lives. Today I want to tell you that there is no single big thing, no One Gate to open, no final wall. All your small choices, all the little obstacles, adds up and becomes the snowball that is your life, your success, your choice.

I'm not skipping out on the small actions, if I keep getting the small things done, the big things take car of themselves. There is another part of the equations, that is seeing the big picture, having clear goals, for they are what pulls your small actions in the direction you want your life to go. Without that picture, your actions will tire you out and lead you nowhere.
