The big thing is the dream. Your grand vision, the 10 year goal, the 1 year milestone, the six month outcome.
These are important. They fuel us and they provide us the clarity of direction only a finely tuned compass can.
We go this way, not that way.
We need the big things. We need to dare to dream big- boldly- and look at those dreams often.
But-
…and it’s a little but…
We need the little things. The little things are the steps along the way.
What am I focussing on this month toward the big thing? What am I doing this week? Today?
Ask yourself these questions.
What is the big goal I am heading toward and how are my actions this week taking me there?
These are pointy questions. It’s that way on purpose. They clarify the major outcome (the big thing) and make it searingly obvious if what you’re doing now (the little thing) is actually connected.
It draws a bold line to what you’re doing now to where you want to be. Like a long bridge arching into the morning mist.
We don’t have to be certain the little things will work- just that they are the best we’ve got right now.
Keep asking this question of the little things and you’ll get to the big thing.
