Can Small Things Help Build Our Future Success?

 

Typically, our life aspirations are pretty much aligned, LIKE, to be successful, to land a rewarding job in a top-tier organization, to eventually have a brand-new car you can call as 'MINE', settle down and build your family then buy your family home.  In essence, all those aspirations are laudable.  BUT if you step back and validate yourself if you can actually become that person you dream and aspire to achieve, let's rethink in case there were factors OR reasons that you were simply 'fantasizing' about reaching those milestone successes.  And obviously, in case you have reached those points, you WON'T need to dream about one day making it happen.  Instead, you'd be living it!  So, Can Small Things Help Build Our Future Success???

True, it is easy to get intimidated OR daunted by the idealized future we've created in our mind because from our own perspective, we seem to be a million miles away from reaching that stage.  In fact, at that point in time, HOW can you assess if you'll ever reach those points WHICH is quite a tough call to make.  Sometimes, the contrast between WHO you are and WHO you want to be is so stark, you might wonder if it's just a pipe dream???

Playing devil's advocate, sometimes we'll here at the workplace that WHEN it comes to winning at work, we have to focus on the big things and we DON'T need to sweat the small stuff??? Not so fast, dude.  Because in real life, those small stuff do matter and based on the wealth of experience we have behind us, I can somehow claim that it might even matter more than you could possibly imagine.  In the early years WHEN I was an upstart, those 'bread crumbs' matter and I managed to gather it through sheer perseverance✅✅✅

YET YET YET, everyone talks about the 'BIG PICTURE', right?  BUT c'mon, if we dissect things, every 'BIG PICTURE' that is ever created is created with one brush stroke at a time.  There was simply NO 'Big Bang' that generated that 'BIG PICTURE'.  I came across a historical footnote stating that Leonardo da Vinci's friends mocked him for using those small brushstrokes for coming up with his Mona Lisa masterpiece.  The cynics said that it took him FOREVER!  BUT at the end of the day, the egg was on their faces because Da Vinci had a masterpiece.  WHAT that tells us is that indeed, little things matter especially when it is taken from a collective and comprehensive perspective.  Indeed, WHAT better testimonial than that Mona Lisa work of art recognized through centuries💚💛💜

Our takeaway:  WHILE there is NO crystal-clear formula we can execute to generate success, let's keep things simpler here.  If you're a chess woodpusher, DON'T belittle even the probably pawns you can prey on because eventually, you can build up from there through the middle game until you reach the end game with reinforced defenses ready enough to initiate the offensive when the slightest opportunity arises.  CAN SMALL THINGS HELP BUILD OUR FUTURE SUCCESS?  Absolutely dude!!!
