The Power Of One Small Thing — Just One

Personal Development  Self Growth

The Power Of One Small Thing… Just One!

Small = Big

Small = “big” in many areas of our lives.

  • The offer of a small ring to someone who you hope to hear the words “Yes! I will marry you!” is big.
  • One small smile — again and again — given to encourage, motivate and inspire = “big” results over the long haul.
  • Writing one small paragraph over time can result in the production of your own ebook.

These reflect the positive side of one small thing = big.  But there can be a negative side as well.  Such as…

  • One small lack in character repeated over time can equal big time loss of respect, reputation and even freedom.
  • Avoiding the reality of one small drink taken too many times without self control can result in a lifetime of heartache and failed dreams.
  • Choosing to use one small, hurtful word at just the wrong time — said in the wrong way — can mean too much agony in a struggling relationship.

Two Short Questions Highlighting The Power Of One Small Aspect Of Life

  • Question Number One: What one small thing — anything – is (or could be if repeated over time) is holding me back from being my best today?
    • This is a question designed to provoke an “overall response.”  That is, a response looking at all that I am at the moment.  Slightly different than Question Number Two below.
    • Could it be a word that I am using too much in my speaking, writing or interacting that if I changed it would bring me just one small step up in the given area of focus?
    • How about a new habit that seems to be developing that is not all that good?  Should it be stopped right now?
    • Words, actions, attitudes, thought patterns, etc., etc.
  • Question Number Two: What “something” — one small something — is hindering me in just one area of my life today?
    • This could be slightly different from the question above.  The idea is merely to focus on one thing in one area.  Yes, it could be something from one of the above examples, but I am thinking of zeroing in more with this question.
    • In the area of time management for example: not filing something when I am done? Maybe putting those file folders away?  That’s one action in one area of time management: i.e. putting things away.
    • Am I repeating one thought one too many times during the day or eating one too many cookies during lunch?

One Simple Quote

One simple quote for you to reflect on this day…

The Power Of One

In the power of one lies

the beauty of fulfillment

or the agony of defeat

and only our repeated choices over time

makes the difference between the two.

And Your Responses Are?

Question Number One: What one small thing — anything – is (or could be if repeated over time) is holding me back from being my best today?

Question Number Two: What “something” — one small something — is hindering me in just one area of my life today?The love of my wife for me.

Using the Power of Five to Enhance Your Life

The Power Of Five!

Using the Power of Five to Enhance Your Life

Either actually — or in your mind — I would like you to scan an area of your choice: preferably a work area such as a home office or something similar.

Not, yet however!

I want you to take a mental scan of your area choice from a very specific vantage point.

Scan With This Perspective

Survey your location with this perspective in mind as you do:

”As I scan my ____ (office, work space, etc.) what ‘productive something’ could I do in five minutes?”

  • Not the next five minutes.
  • Any five minutes.

It could be anything.

  • Calling someone,
  • Putting a file folder away,
  • writing yourself a reminder
  • Or taking a refreshing five minute read.

It just needs to…

  • Take under five minutes
  • And in your mind it should be “a productive something.”

That is, the action should carry with it a sense of emotional worth; some level of emotional significance.

Ready? Go!

Now Here’s What I Like About What You Discovered

Assuming you really did what I asked, you just experienced “the power of five” in your life.

You identified that which was…

  • Doable.
  • By design.
  • Held some level of meaning for you.
  • And could be accomplished in five minutes or less.

“Nice!”

I say “nice,” because of the simplicity and power of what that simple exercise could mean for you at times.

  • You choose the time.
  • You choose the focus.
  • And you “go for it” for only five minutes of your time during any given day.

As you are mulling this over in your mind, allow me to repeat what I mentioned seconds ago.  This is…

  • Doable.
  • By design.
  • Can hold some level of meaning for you.
  • And is accomplished in five minutes or less.

Brainstorming With An Open-Ended List

Expand your imagination about a variety of tasks or activities that could be accomplished in five minutes or less.  What I am terming “productive something” moments.

Travel down the ideas below.  Add your own.  Be creative.  And try it!

If you thought through various concepts or categories, what might come to mind? Categories such as the ones below (or others you discover during your short journey down the page).

Organization

  • What could you organize?
  • Could anything be put away?
  • Any clutter be cleaned up?
  • What about labeling a file folder and filing a piece of information?
  • Dusting maybe?

And your ideas would be…?

Inspiration, Motivation Or Refreshment

  • In five minutes or less, what could you bring into your world or call to your attention that might inspire you, motivate you or bring a moment’s refreshment into your busy day?
  • Do any books come to mind?
  • How about a song, picture or object of some sort?
  • Yoga, deep breathing, stretching, pushups or five minutes of other exercise?

And your ideas would be…?

Ideas

  • Could you have an “idea break”
  • Fun ideas, business ideas, family ideas, etc.  Think ideas by “category” as those I just mentioned for you.

And your ideas would be…?

Blessing Others

  • What could you do in five minutes or under that would encourage or bless someone?
  • Send a note, give them a call, send a text?

And your ideas would be…?

Stopping And Slowing Down

  • Could you meditate or reflect?
  • What about writing only one thought in a journal?
  • Could you stop long enough to enjoy something small?

And your ideas would be…?

Be Creative

  • Could you create a quote, or thought to use for training others?
  • What about reviewing a quote that meant something to you?
  • And what about looking for a cool place to take your husband or wife?
  • Could you find a picture of that blog post you will create later?
  • In five minutes or less could a meaningful personal affirmation be created… or at least begun?
  • Write down one idea for that next article.  It doesn’t have to be 50 ideas, right?  Not now.  This is just your “power of 5” time! Could you?

And your ideas would be…?

Bring Something To “Completion”

Would you consider bringing part of task to a close? Do it!  Wrap it up, shut it down, and bring that part to a close!

You Got It!

By this time — in the even that you stuck with me this far, lol — you totally get the idea!

  • Doable.
  • By design.
  • Holding meaning for you.
  • In five minutes or less!

Affiliate Notations: I am affiliate of many, if not most, of the links and products that I suggest, recommend, or refer to on this site. For example, when I refer to the resources Renegade University and Renegade Professional, I am an affiliate of the organization that supplies those resources for the benefit of so many people. Also, if you see a banner on my site you can almost count on me be an affiliate of that service or product. By way of an example, the banner for the QuanSite that I use and very highly recommend: I am a very happy affiliate. Here's a "safe" way to look at it: just consider links affiliate related. Of course, many are not, but just view it that way for disclosure's sake. It’s really the best of both worlds: I enjoy being free enough to not only recommend a product or service that others may benefit from but also to have the potential of earning funds from the same resource. Cool.
