Question

Many of us believe that ‘small’ means ‘insignificant’. We believe that small

actions and choices do not have much impact on our lives. We think that it is

only the big things, the big actions and the big decisions they really count.

But when you look at the lives of all great people, you will see that they built

their character through small decisions, small choices and small actions that

they performed everyday. They transformed their lives through step by step

or day by day approach. They nurtured and nourished their good habits and

chipped away their bad habits, one by one. It was their small day-to-day

decisions that added up to make tremendous different in the long run.

Indeed, in matter of personal growth and character building, there is no such

thing as on overnight success.

2. Growth always occurs through a sequential series of stages. There is no

organic process to growth. When we look at children growing up, we can see

this process at work: the child first learn to crawl, then to stand and walk

and then finally to run. The same is true in the natural world. The soil must

first be tilled and then the seed must be sown. Next it must be nurtured with

enough water and sunlight and only then will it grow into trees laden with

ripe fruits.

3. Gandhi understood this organic process and used this universal law of

nature to his benefit. Gandhi grew in small ways, in his day-to-day affairs. He

did not wake up one up one day and find himself to be the ‘Mahatma’. In fact,

there was nothing much in his early life that showed signs of greatness. But

from his mid-twenties. Onwards, he deliberately and consistently attempted

to change himself, reform himself and grow in some small way every day.

Day by day, hour by hour, he risked failure, experimented and learnt from

mistakes. In small as well as large situations, he took up the responsibility

rather than avoiding it.

4. People have always marvelled at the effortless way in which Gandhi could

accomplish the most difficult tasks. He played a great deal of self-mastery

and discipline which was amazing. These things did not come easily to him.

Years of practice and disciplined training went into making his success

possible. Very few saw his struggles, fears, doubts and anxieties, or his inner

efforts to overcome them. They only saw the victory, but not the struggle.

5. This is a common factor in the lives of all great people: they exercise their

freedoms and choices in small ways that make great impact on their lives

and their environment. Each of their small decisions and actions, add up to

have a profound impact in the long run. By understanding this principle, we

can move forward, with confidence, in the direction of our dreams. Often​
