Steal Your Way to Success: How Moments, Not Time, Lead To Big Accomplishments
Mindset Monday
Takeaway: Don’t take little decisions for granted. Even the smallest decisions contribute to your big goals and compound over time. This is precisely how the big accomplishments are born.
We’ve all told ourselves in one moment or another that we’d do things differently, “if only I had the time.”
Author Julia Cameron spoke on the topic in her book, The Right to Write:
The "if I had time" lie is a convenient way to ignore the fact that novels require being written and that writing happens a sentence at a time. Sentences can happen in a moment. Enough stolen moments, enough stolen sentences, and a novel is born — without the luxury of time.
I don’t think we’re talking about writing anymore.
Even the smallest decisions contribute to your big goals and compound over time. This is precisely how the big accomplishments are born.
One stolen moment at a time.
Author James Clear shared this as a core concept in his book, Atomic Habits. The small decisions we make each day are a reflection of our habits. Those habits steer the direction of your life as each seemingly minuscule shift in direction, with enough time, completely changes the trajectory of your outcomes.
