“Sometimes when I consider what tremendous
consequences come from little things…
I am tempted to think…
there are no little things.”
~ Bruce Barton
Not kidding. It’s all about the little things.
Seriously.
A number of years ago I asked a mentor of mine what one thing he would recommend. His advice: Do the little things to the best of your ability—from putting a sock straight in the hamper to washing your dishes immediately to flossing your teeth.
His point: there are no little things and when you get in the habit of living at your highest potential with the mundane things, it becomes second nature for the bigger stuff.
So, floss your teeth. It’ll build strong habits and even make your trip to the dentist a lot more pleasant! (And, it’s fun to have a dentist tell you how good your gums look! :)
