Small Wins

There is so much written about pursuing excellence, achieving something legendary, doing extraordinary things. Many at times I have heard people talk about how they achieved something really great, which they felt unattainable when they first started out in their journey. I am always curious to know their method, their process, their way of doing it and then relate that to my inhibitions, my personality and my character.

One of the things that came out loud in my observation of accomplished around me is that they gave lot of importance to small wins. The process of one thing right at a time. The persistence and energy to focus on the current and have a larger vision for future. Somewhere I am able to relate it for myself. I am a huge fan of working on small wins and then after some time, sum it up to see its larger impact. It can be a powerful winning strategy in any area of your life. Whether it is building great personal relationships or achieving higher goals in your professional life or life in general.

I am actually a living example of this theory. It is atleast a truth of my life. Whenever I have tried to change something overnight or picked a piece more that I could swallow - it has always backfired. I might have created a temporary dent, but on long term, it always exhausted me.

One of the greatest gifts of nature to me is my ability to observe and learn. And that's profound for me. At times i feel sorry for those who undervalue the power of small wins, specially at work place. At times i hear people say, its a small thing - who cares - it is so small that it is not my priority. They at times lack vision and are ignorant. Remember when you start, its always little progress. But eventually, the persistence, the repetition, the improvement of it makes it bigger than what you would have possibly imagined. It builds your character. 

Every big win is a collection of small wins in continuous tense!

Big love,
