Small Things!

 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'!!!
