Our lives are lived in little steps.
We think little thoughts. Some catch on and grow. Some become habits in our minds. Some grow to the point of overpowering us. Little steps of thought habits fill much of our conscious time.
We do little actions. Some are repeated and become habits. Then we repeat them, acting them out over and over again. Little behavioural habits fill much of our conscious time.
Everything we think about or generate externally starts out small.
We want much. We want to generate more. We want to do bold things. We want to use talents. We want to leave legacies.
Regardless, everything we accomplish, good or bad or indifferent, happens in small steps performed in short periods of time.

Thought Tweet #975 Emotions + Stress = Irrational Behaviour
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Emotions cause us to do illogical/irrational things, things we regret.
Stress can act like a hair trigger, accelerating and expanding this effect of Emotions.
Can you keep a finger on your Emotion pulse?
Do you know when Stress is getting the better of you?
Typically, people answer "Yes" to both those questions.
Typically, people are wrong on both accounts.

The Awesome Power of Procrastination: without it small amounts of short-term gain would never out-muscle the much larger long-term gain. And, avoiding small amounts of short-term pain would never out-muscle avoiding the much larger long-term pain.
Procrastination is the great equalizer: it gives immediate needs the ability to defy our important goals and our common sense.
