The little opportunities
Each day is filled with opportunities to make a difference.
Many of those opportunities may seem small and
insignificant, yet you have no way of knowing where they can
lead.
Life's big opportunities rarely come to you as such. The
vast majority of the big opportunities start out very small
and must be lovingly nurtured.
Be willing to take care of the little things, and your
effectiveness at doing so will put you in a position to
influence the big things. Figure out how to make just a
little, ordinary, positive contribution and you'll be well
on your way to big, extraordinary achievements.
There is never any need to beg anyone for the chance to
prove yourself. Life gives you ample opportunities for doing
so in every moment.
Let go of the assumption that your time is too valuable for
you to be bothered with the little things. Remember that the
little things can make the difference between success and
failure.
Hold on to the biggest, most ambitious vision you can
imagine. And be willing to get your hands dirty doing the
little things that will make that it happen.
