ONE LITTLE BIT

I have noticed with myself and my clients and even my children, that when a person makes a tiny change for the better and feels GOOD about that change, it is easier to keep making them. Sometimes I think that the path to greatness is really just the gentle veer of the path you are already on. So simple and so small that you barely notice the change but over the long haul, it matters. It really matters. That change can be being nice to a total stranger when you really feel grumpy or simply NOT reacting to someone who is a grump to you. Those little choices tell you something about yourself. They tell you that you are powerful. Your actions have echos throughout the days of everyone you chance to meet.

Even more powerful are the effects on YOUR life. When you do something that you know is right or good for you, you are telling yourself that you are important to YOU. You have a sense of "accomplishment" or respect for your own actions. That feeling inspires a chain reaction to make better choices more often. It can lead to really liking the person you are TODAY. It can make it easier to be someone you are happy to be tomorrow.
