Appreciate the Little Wins!

A glimpse at a daunting task or a mountain of tasks can hit us like a ton of bricks. We question if completing everything is even possible, let alone where to actually start. This is usually accompanied by feelings of how small we are and/or call what power we hold into question.

It's so easy to get overwhelmed to the point of inaction. If you ever find yourself in one of these overwhelming times, I suggest taking a few moments to remember the Star Fish Story originally by Loren Eisley. I actually came across this for the first time in the movie Holy Man with Eddie Murphy many years back, but it definitely stuck in my head.

My Point...

Sometimes we fall into traps where if were not able to complete everything, help everyone, change the world...then it doesn't matter. Even when we logically know the effects we truly make, emotionally we can still be demotivated or give up.

In the grand scheme of things we are smaller than specks of dust in the eyes of the universe. Does this mean we shouldn't do anything? Say nothing matters? Of course not!

In the end, it's all about progressing yourself and others to be better versions of themselves! What seems like a small act could begin the butterfly effect to something way bigger down the road.

Don't get caught in the trap of trying to fix everything or everyone. Appreciate the Difference of Little Wins!

And of course the obligatory kitty pic!
