The little things

Get the small details right. They add together to exert a big influence.

No action, no moment, no attitude, no person is too small to matter. Seize upon every opportunity to have a positive influence, regardless of how insignificant it seems.

Offering a tiny kindness could improve the trajectory of someone’s entire day. Making a minor adjustment early might later be the difference between success and failure.

The big decisions are obvious and important, yet they are few and far between. Be just as diligent with the little choices that pop up all the time, for they combine to determine your direction.

In countless small ways, throughout all your days, you can exert positive influence. Remain mindful of that power, and use it well.

Lots of little things are immediately within your grasp. Continue assembling them into a big, beautiful, rewarding life.
