Ever
have something unexpected happen? Your business is running smoothly.
All is well with your staff. Out of left field something just CHANGES!
Are you seeing the word "change"? Did you even realize that small
changes or even big changes can just happen. Think about it. One day
your profits are struggling. You're wondering how you're going to pay
your bills, and then all of a sudden a new sale or client just
miraculously shows up. Literally within minutes everything CHANGED. You
have enough to pay your bills. Problem solved.
When
you look at like at one big "millimeter" change a day, it doesn't seem
so overwhelming, does it? Millimeter changes happen all of the time, and
we sometimes don't even notice them. If you wake up each day and are
open to see where life takes you, you'll notice you are constantly on
roads toward changes.
I'll
give you another example. A woman miraculously decided in what SEEMED
like one day to change her life. She just decided to quit her job. Now
that might seem like a MAJOR shift that happened in one day, but not
really. Each day she faced her job, she was unhappy. Her boss demeaned
her on a Friday. She got promised a raise that never came. Her co-worker
got her expected raise. Her boss ridiculed a project she felt pride in.
She went home every day and was depressed. Then her boss wrote her one
(last-straw email) and demeaned her again. She turned to her computer
and she quit. Was it really that sudden? No, small but incremental
issues built up daily until it amounted to a BIG CHANGE. Quitting a job
or even getting a divorce never happens overnight. It's often
cumulative.
If
you can see change as cumulative (built on good things) then you'll
realize that living the "millimeter" approach to life is easy. You
already live it. It's just how you look at it.
