Small accomplishments
In just five minutes, you can accomplish something. You can
decide on a small goal, work on it with focus and diligence,
and in less than five minutes it will be done.
Anyone can choose a small accomplishment and have it done in
just a few minutes. And though it may not seem like much, it
can be everything.
For the biggest, most impressive and imposing achievements
are made up of small accomplishments. Those small
accomplishments are open and freely available to anyone who
decides to make them happen.
Sometimes it can be comforting to think that the path to
success is a closely guarded secret, and that the lucky few
who know the secret are the ones who succeed. But there
really is no secret.
Success comes to those who choose to make it happen. Success
comes to those who string together the small
accomplishments, one after another after another.
Instead of searching or hoping or waiting for a secret that
does not even exist, get busy working on what you know must
be done. Take every opportunity to bring about a small
accomplishment.
And before long, those small accomplishments will add up to
something truly grand.
