Sometimes small things can make such big differences that you might be shocked. It can trigger something that can help you do things which you thought was never possible.
I have always sucked at writing on my plans. Resolutions are something I have made many times but couldn't follow it thru will. I have always found a reason to bail out of them.
This year was a bit different, I somehow decided to have few tangible ones and wanted to stick to them as long as I can.
One of them was reading, nothing more than a few pages a day. The first book I picked was really bad. It was so uninteresting that I dint even remember most of the book. But i stuck to reading even when I felt I can't. Somehow managed to finish it after 3 weeks.
Then came a recommendation of a book after review of my interests. The trust was so much that I picked up 4 books from the series. And yeah, they were great.
I was so engrossed that I knocked them 4 really quick. Then another small book in between and then started another one from a series. Looking back I am on my 8th book since Jan 1st 😀
Now that I'm in a flow, I have a target. 30 books at a minimum. Given that I am on my 8th book which will be done by end of Feb, I think I am doing alright for that goal :)
So, what was the small thing that helped? First, it was the recommendation, it was just perfect, I went full throttle on these.
And then there was this small thing a beautiful kid gave to me which felt so special that I wanted to use it. And somewhere it has made a difference in my reading.
A beautiful handmade bookmark that said 'Talk to yourself like someone you Love' :) It is so simple but so powerful, I wish we all could shower ourselves with that kinda love. And you know what, even if I manage 10% of that, I will treat myself with so much love and respect that I will be enough for myself :D
So cheers to finding such small things in life that can keep you going! And yes 'Talk to yourself like someone you Love'!!!
