General Colin powell writes, “Success ultimately rests on small things, lots of small things.” That is, if you want to be successful in your life, do not ignore the little guys.

Success comes from doing the little things really well. It is the key to mastery.

Success comes from mastering the fundamentals. Life is about fundamentals. It can make or break you.

If you are not successful, check how you treat the little guys in your life. The little things matter. Pay attention to them. They are what you need to get to the next level. Without them, you are not going anywhere.

“Success is not inevitable; it is within your reach.”

Success is achievable. But you cannot get there without encountering setbacks. Do not worry about your setbacks. They are a part of life. If you do not have setbacks in your life, you are not living your true life. You are not creating what you were born to create.

If you are not failing, if you are not falling, check your daily activities. Are they helping or hurting you? Are they serving or saving you?

If you want to be successful, you must pay attention to small things. Success is not inevitable. But it “rests on small things, lots of small things.”

If You Don’t Make Things Happen Then Things Will Happen To You

Robert Collier said, “If you don’t make things happen then things will happen to you.” You have what it takes to make things happen for you, not to you. It is important to make things happen, to make your dreams come true, to check where you are. To do that, you need to be honest with yourself. You need to tell yourself what you need to hear. If not, you will never grow.

“If you believe you can make things happen for you, you can.”

When it comes to your growth, you have what it takes to create the life you want for yourself. You can create your life. All you need to do is to tell yourself the truth. Don’t lie about where you are right now. Jim Stovall says, “The most destructive lies we ever tell are those we tell ourselves.” We lie to ourselves to cover our troubles. If you want to get to the next level, you must stop telling yourself lies. If you don’t stop, you will remain where you are.

To leave where you are, you must make things happen for you, not to you. You have what it takes to do it. You have what it takes to change your life. You are stronger, smarter, better than you think you are. All you need to make things happen for you is to determine where you want to go, what you want, and how to make things happen. And don’t forget to assess where you are right now. It is important. Because if you want to know yourself, you must have the courage to question yourself.

The right questions will give you the right answers. To face yourself, you must first believe that you can win. You must believe that you have what it takes to take the first step. It is the first step that separates the doers from the talkers. It is the first step that separates successful people from unsuccessful people. It is the first step that separates winners from losers. So if you want to make things happen for you, you must learn the act of taking the first step. It matters. Are you ready to take the first step?
