A Series Of Little Things

I've observed that many of lives successes don't have a single step. Most successes in life come by getting lots of little things right. Here's an example, being healthy. There's no one thing you can do to be healthy. It takes a series of little things to be healthy. It's a combination of diet, sleep, exercise, thought life, work, supplements, etc. So health is the result of getting a server of little thing correct.

In a way, this makes big things a whole lot easier. People who have accomplished great things are usually not any better or more talented than you or it, they just put in the work. And putting in the work means doing all the little things that other people didn't want to do.

Thomas Edison arrived at his invention of the light bulb by a long, long series of little changes. I think something close to 1000 iteration. There was no quick, one step way of arriving at such an important discovery.

If we're willing to get lots of little things right, we can arrive in some places much bigger than the sum of the little things.
