Life - a Sum of Small Efforts


Only by slowing down,
you can catch scenes like this.
Honesty is what is needed now!

So here I go: My genuine plan to update this blog encountered some real life obstacles: a busy schedule with exciting clients, small hiccups with my dwelling place and extended hours driving from one location to another. The long-waited summer holiday in July brought along some time to catch one's breath.

Life is not just a bundle of challenges, but full of learning opportunities. Holidays offered some time to reflect those learnings. Every spare minute squeezed from work for family, friends and reading has proven to recharge my batteries. It has also become more obvious that there are people who need a lot of time to learn this valuable learning. Rushing it by good hints and advices get you nowhere. Unless you count frustration 'somewhere'.

Learning can be tedious work even if just learning from your own mistakes so close home. The smallest start demands a lot of effort. Scaling down the often larger-than-life expectations will make the start a bit easier. Who has said that you have to get all done at once? Tuning your timing with your new starts will ensure better outcomes and more satisfaction with life. It may sound obvious, but I challenge you: choose one thing you wish to learn and really start with it. You will see what I try to highlight!

I leave you with the words of Robert Collier:

      'Success is the sum of small efforts,
       repeated day in and out.'

Next time we will see what achievements our efforts have summed up to.
