Our lives are not typically composed of major events. The little things we do daily add up into something much larger than expected . The little things like sitting up straight, choosing to smile when you wake up in the morning, or hugging a person in need, they may seem insignificant alone but are important when done consistently . These little things are huge factors in determining the direction of your life. If you ask someone whom you consider successful when they became successful they will tell you they don’t know the exact moment when it happened, they just know, now, that it happened. There is not usually these major events in life that go “BOOM, now I’m successful!” When we are consciously creating our lives they are a gradual realizations from little choices and good habits. Working out is not something you do 24 hours a day and now you are sexy and fit. Work out 20 minutes a day and you will become fit and sexy the rest of your life. When you tell your special someone you love them it seems to them insignificant by itself, tell them you love them every day for a year, now they are starting to get the picture. I think success is just a combination of time and choices. How we spend our time is the choice. Let’s spend our time doing something meaningful and beneficial to our lives. I think most people are sacrificing long term fulfillment for short term comfort and they live their lives daily searching for instant gratification (like caffeine, tv, or junk food.) but nothing beats having the life you’ve always wanted. The job, the health, the relationships, the skills ,the friends… these things develop over time and give one of the deepest senses of satisfaction one could ever experience, but it is the process and not the end result because as I’ve said before once you get there you will always want the next one the next one and the next one. Enjoying the process is the only thing that works! So all we can do is that, enjoy the progress and give greater importance to the little things. Because that’s all your situation in life right now is, an accumulation of all these little things.
