Small things become big things
As you may know it was my little girls communion the other day, and yes I have to blog about that. However I wanted to write this blog post entitled small things become big things. It’s inspired by a guy I saw preaching at a Christian church I visited on Sunday.
Now I am not overly religious. I believe in God and spiritualism but have been turned away from the traditional church due to all the scandals etc.
This post is not about religion, per se, but more about some of the content of this guys sermon.
He was talking about his relationship with God, and how everything is intertwined. He talked about how if he forgot to worship it was a small thing, but then it became a larger thing as his relationship with God broke down so did everything else. A small change he made in his life, grew into bigger issues.
What’s that got to do with you?
It got me thinking about you and me. We often start bad habits by doing small things. A glass of wine on a Wednesday, turns into 2 every Wednesday and then 2 on a Thursday, soon it leads to not leaving the bottle. It’s a small thing that led to a bigger thing.
The odd cigarette at the weekend, turns into one a day, turns in half a packet every second day, turns into something bigger.
Small things lead into bigger things
We do have to be careful as this can happen very easily. Small little things that seem insignificant can have larger repercussions.
A positive spin
However, of course there’s a positive to this. The small little things you do every day can make a dramatic change in your life. Just the little things, I mean, getting up earlier every day, even if it’s by 20 minutes, causes you less stress.
Walking into work or getting off the train, metro or bus one stop earlier and walking can change your health.
Spending less time in front of the TV and more time with your kids. The small things can lead to bigger things.
We have to remember that everything starts with a small little change, but that change can lead to bigger things.
My question for you
What small things can you change today to make a more positive bigger impact in your life tomorrow?
Here’s some ideas:
- cut out that extra snack
- walk for 10 mins each day and increase that by 5 minutes every day
- spend less time watching tv and more time with your partner
- cut down on alcohol
- cut out a cigarette or two each day
- read more positive books and stories
- go for a stroll in the evening
All of these are small things that can make the difference
In summary
Keep an eye on what you are doing, be aware of every small thing that you do and ask yourself what could this small little thing I am doing now, change in the future. It’s scary to be honest, we don’t realise it, but the small things do become big things.
Gordon Smith says
Hey Richard,
Insightful and oh so true, I think the saying “Start of the slippery slope” came from just this idea and I think this is how thoughts become things, it starts with a thought is followed by an action, and the action repeated becomes a habit.
The habit like anything has consequences good or bad. Something to think about before you get too deep into anything. If you had to ask any long term smoker “if you could go back to the time just before you smoked your first cigarette would you still smoke it?” I bet a significant amount would say no.
Richard Butler says
Gordon what you say is so true
However the slippery slope can be for good things to, ie the small changes you make today, can have major impacts later on. It all starts with a thought, like you say and then taking action.
Thinking alone will not get us anywhere it´s about taking the action and taking consistent action
thanks again for the comment
