Take On the “Small Stuff” and Conquer It.
Monday, February 16th, 2009One of my favorite books is “The Slight Edge”, by Jeff Olson. Success arrives at your door step when you persistently do small tasks on a consistent basis, like the story about the “Tortoise and the Hare”. You can scramble about doing “busy work”, shuffling papers, hopping about from one task to another without focusing on the small tasks and get nowhere. However, by organizing your tasks, taking them on one at at time and doing them consistently, you WILL reach your goals. Reaching your goals brings about Greatness in your life.
Max Steingart shared the following:
SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN RESULTS.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
Many people take the first step and then stop.Yet, with every additional step you take, you enhance immensely the value of your first step.
All masters of success are chiefly distinguished by their power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a forth step in a continuous line.
There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession is the rule of life.
That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.
Do not despise the bottom rings in your ascent to greatness.
