IT’S IN THE LITTLE THINGS
OKAY YOU’VE BEEN USING THE “WORRY” TECHNIQUE WHERE YOU WORRY JUST ABOUT ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT YOU THINK IS IMPORTANT.
AND THE RESULT FROM ALL THIS “WORRYING” IS…..?
NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT…OR NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL.
TRY THIS:
LET GO OF YOUR WORRIES.
SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND THIS DIFFICULT BECAUSE WORRYING HAS BECOME A CRUTCH FOR THEM.
BUT JUST LET THE WORRIES GO.
DON’T LET THE STRESS OF THE DAY OVERTAKE YOU.
YES,
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CONTROL IT.
INSTEAD,
APPROACH EACH MOMENT WITH A SMILE.
START WITH GIVING YOURSELF A SMILE FIRST.
IT’S IN THE LITTLE THINGS.
SEE WHAT JOY EACH DAY HAS TO BRING.

RELENTLESSLY CONSISTENT TEMPO
SUCCESS IS EARNED BY THOSE WHO ARE CONSISTENT.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE BORING DAYS, EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF BEING ON AUTO-PILOT TO YOUR GOALS.
REMEMBER THE STORY OF
THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE*?
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE DAYS, OR EVEN WEEKS;
OF DISTRACTION.
YOU’VE GOT TO BE RELENTLESSLY CONSISTENT
IN YOUR “TEMPO”
TOWARDS YOUR GOALS.
TO ACHIEVE THEM.

NOTES:
*The Aesop Fable of the Hare and the Tortoise is a classic tale about a fast hare who mocks a slow tortoise and challenges him to a race.
- A proud hare laughed at the tortoise for walking very slowly.
- Tired of the teasing, the tortoise challenged the hare to a running race.
- All the forest animals gathered to watch the start line.
- The hare dashed ahead and quickly gained a massive lead.
The Nap and the Finish
- Confident of an easy win, the hare decided to take a nap mid-way.
- The tortoise kept a slow and steady pace, walking past the sleeping hare.
- The hare woke up too late and saw the tortoise cross the finish line.
Moral of the Story
- Slow and steady wins the race.
- Consistency and hard work beat pride and laziness.
