Why Sweating The Small Stuff Really Matters

By Evan Sanders


Where does confidence come from? Is it something that you are just born with or are we able to build confidence over a period of time? Yes, some people just have it. But as someone who had it, lost it completely, and had to build it all back from scratch, I'm going to point out that you can do some pretty interesting things with building some iron faith in your life.

Maybe you have none in your life at the moment, or perhaps you just need some more because you know precisely how much it would aid you with making big decisions. But really, where does this confidence come from? There are these little things I love to call momentum builders that help you create confidence over time. Confidence, and the development of long lasting confidence comes from the process of sweating the details, the little stuff, the things that most people often overlook. Why are these momentum builders important? Because when you can nail the small details down, and truly knock those out of the park day in and day out, you build yourself some forward movement. You essentially get yourself out of the mud and heading in a direction. Often, going in any direction is better than not moving at all. You begin to say, "Okay, I was capable of doing these things and brought these positive habits into my life..what else am I truly capable of?" Now you are entering into a place of life's magic. You see, when you actually nail the tiny stuff, the larger things become even more attainable. It's when we try to go for the gigantic goal without having the integrity of focusing on the small things that truly set us up for failure.

So sweat the tiny stuff. Really take the time to target the feasible measure of your life, and over the course of time start going for bigger and bigger goals. What if you fail? Take a small step back down and refocus on what you can achieve, and try and try again. This is a pretty simple path towards real success. In fact, the quantum leap is exactly what you should not be focusing on.

A lot of people get discouraged when they try something gigantic in life and fail. Actually the majority will try something 3 times and then give up completely. But if you build some significant momentum, you'll have the confidence to try something over and over till you get it 100% right.

Isn't that a far better way to live life?

Build some significant momentum behind you and you are really capable of extraordinary things.

But first, you need to sweat the really small stuff.
