Let's talk Marbles. I like marbles. Played a lot of marbles in the school yard growing up. So, say I wanted to get a whole bunch of marbles. My neighbor happened to be all grown up with a ton of marbles. He had a big yard with a lot of yard work that needed to be done...and he didn't have the time for all the yard work.

I get to talking with the neighbor about marbles...He shows me his pretty big supply that he is a bit boastful about. The marbles are basically just collecting dust in the garage. He cherishes the marbles because he won them all in the school yard sand pit.

I offer my neighbor to do yard work for him for 30 days.

The deal is you give me 1 marble on day 1. and then you double it every day. The neighbor looks at his large supply and laughs...."Ok...Sure....No problem.....You got yourself a deal....You know I could pay you a more fair price of the same pay every day"

I say, "mmmm I just want marbles".

Neighbor says...."you know you could probably buy more marbles with the money"

I say, "nah...I think it would be just easier for me to collect marbles daily from you"

Neighbor: "ok...suit yourself...we'll do it your way"

  • A week goes by and the marbles are starting to add up!

  • 1+2+4+8+16+32+64 = 127 Marbles for 7 Days

Neighbor says..."this is adding up pretty quick...you might run me out of marbles."

  • Week 2 Rolls around and things are getting very interesting!

  • 128 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096 + 8,192 = 16,256 Marbles in 14 Days

The Moral of The Story Here: "Every Little Bit Counts...and Each One Adds Up...and when you start doubling...it's a pretty powerful thing. Take this analogy and apply it to all areas of Your Life. Meaning: Invest in Yourself. You owe it to yourself. Every little bit that you can do for your self-improvement on a daily basis...has a Massive Effect over time. Our individual effectiveness, results in our effective ability to support others as ourselves. We have a lot of valuable support to share when we take the time to learn, grow, develop and mature.

  • Fun Little Exercises - Consider adding in little exercises into your daily living - For Example: a few push ups here and a few push ups there...Add a few sit ups...Make 30 second investments of time...Maybe even start with just 10 second investments of time. Hey, maybe even through in a few squats. If you space these exercises apart in short interval bursts....and you work up to 10 minutes of time invested into exercise in a day...and you keep that up for 1 year....Wow...let me Know how that went! Imagine you worked that exercise investment up to 1 hour a day, spread out throughout the Whole day. A minute here and a minute there. That's 60 minutes only and you have 1,140 minutes in a day. Somewhere between 10 and 60 seconds here and there throughout the day goes a long way in adding up the whole Day. The beauty is...it's easy to accommodate. Use Your Time Wisely!

When we consider the very small, we develop a Tall Standing of Our Utmost Potential
