Do the least

If you ever find yourself getting stuck at doing what you want, do the least of it!

Doing the least of what you want is a powerful way to get you closer to what you want. Simply because most of the times, we get too caught off at chasing something that we take for granted that the thing we pursued could be a giant thing which will not be achieved over night. The more you focus on moving a mountain, the harder it is for you to do so. Why not lifting every rock at a time?

We humans are limited, yet, sometimes we get too frustrated and we just want to override nature of things. This is unhealthy and negative. No one is born with the ability of doing many amazing things. Weren’t we just born as babies, helpless and vulnerable? Nevertheless, we did not just stop there, we have grown over time and learn more things, which enables us to do more.

Yes, sometimes, our mind can even go bigger and wilder than anything else. We just want what we want. But, can we just calm ourselves down to bring that desire a little bit more down to earth? If we want to run a marathon, go run around the neighborhood. If we want to write a book, write a paper first. Thinking big without starting small is unrealistic.

Perhaps, you are worried that those small things are too small but think for a moment, if you cannot get small things done, how are you able to get bigger things achieved. That is humility. That is accepting that everything has a journey. Every time you fall is a chance to stand up and to keep going. If you add up little things, it becomes more possible, if you stop, impossibility is real. Isn’t it the secret of living as well? If you are tired, just take a break, but always have in mind the next small thing you can do to get you to where you want to go.

Whatever happens next is for you to decide.
