Little things

If you allow the little things to get you down, then you give the big things the power to overwhelm you. By constantly complaining about minor problems, you compromise your ability to deal with the major problems.

Whenever you’re interrupted by an unexpected annoyance you have a choice to make. You can let it poison your whole attitude, or you can use it to make you more positive and powerful.

Decide to laugh at the little problems, and to see each one as an opportunity for growth. Every minor issue that you quickly and successfully handle will strengthen your confidence.

That confidence can offer great value when a major problem comes along. Even more importantly, your confidence enables you to reach whatever goals you set for yourself.

When you’re already in the habit of not being impeded by the little challenges, you set yourself up for success when the big challenges arrive. Every small problem provides you with a way to practice and perfect your positive momentum.

A day that is filled with little annoyances is a day rich with opportunities for real and lasting growth. Welcome those opportunities with a smile, and one by one they make you stronger.
