the power of small victories

Dear You,

I spent a while reflecting on my life and my journey so far. I realised that the little things led to the big things. We all learned the alphabet - A, B, C, and D- to learn words and eventually form simple and complex sentences. These apply to life as well. To win big, we have to win small. Too often, we focus on winning big. If I asked you how you felt about 2022, you'd mention the highlights and milestones, but when I ask you more profound questions, like what top 5 moments were you the happiest? What moments were you proud of? What did you overcome? What little moments led to the big moments? You will realise that your big win didn't just happen. It culminated with small moments, small steps, and small actions. Your big goals will be achieved with little consistent steps. Consistent small actions will always win over Intense big actions. This is how you build sustainable habits that set you up for success. Whenever you are unsure about how to start, start small. Whenever you are uncertain about what to do, remind yourself that achieving small victories will eventually lead to big ones. In the words of Vincenzo - "The best way to catch a big fish is with a smaller fish".

With love,

Blessing Abeng
