How do we really create the life of wellness we so desperately want? Robert Collier, founder of the once popular Collier’s Weekly, coined the phrase “Success is the sum of many small efforts.” We often create this huge dream of what our lives should look like, and we become overwhelmed and discouraged when we wake up from that dream to find that nothing has changed. Big change comes with small efforts! It actually is a nice thought: We don’t have to do anything big or grand, we just have to do something small today. How wonderful!
My son is a motorcross racer and wants to improve his performance committing to working out daily to achieve his goals. As many of us do, he gets discouraged waiting for the BIG CHANGE in his body to arrive. While waking him up this morning I simply said, “You want to be your best at racing, don’t you?”
Of course, he responded with a sleepy, “Yes.”
To which I reminded him, “All you have to do is get up and do 30 minutes of cardio before school. That is all you have to think about for the next 30 minutes, and you will reach your goal. You don’t have to think about tomorrow or the next day; just think about the next thirty minutes.”
It sounds simple but it is true: If we just make our small efforts over and over again they soon add up to our big accomplishments. Be specific; choose that goal, and break down those small efforts.
If you want help in reaching your big goals and need help in keeping those small efforts going every day, call Totell 801.231.0001. We want you to be successful!
