Discipline in the smallest acts has the largest consequences.
Taking your vitamins each day can do more good in your life than a mighty effort to finish a work project.
Going to bed on time will improve tomorrow more than spending hours cleaning the house.
And spending a minute or two after a meal to clean and put away all that you used will beat out the full day deep cleaning every time.
Discipline in the smallest acts makes discipline in the big things less necessary. And when they still are, it makes them easier.
Keeping your inbox clear by spending five minutes a day is easier than cleaning it out once a month.
Besides that, discipline in the small acts builds your discipline muscles more.
It’s like taking the time and effort at the gym to really nail your form while doing lifts.
Good form, consistently executed, will make you stronger faster than sloppy all-out efforts.
Discipline in the small acts is about good form. It’s about living deliberately.
In many ways it is a spiritual act. It reaffirms a disciplined, conscious attitude and approach to life.
The smaller the act, the more it reveals and strengthens your inner call to be your highest self.
