Small actions can lead to great results. Just going to bed early, brushing your teeth, meal prepping, writing in a journal, and going for walks can lead to big breakthroughs in your life. The great UCLA basketball coach John Wooden would teach his players how to put on their socks because improperly worn socks would lead to blisters, and blisters would cause the player to play hurt or miss the game completely. So that small action can have huge implications if not done.

A lot of breakthroughs come from small actions done over and over again. Don't focus on the big stuff, even though it is more exciting, focus on doing the little things right first. Turn those little actions into big wins for yourself. If you have enough sleep, then you'll be more prepared for your work day and do better work, which will help you land that promotion, which will give you more money to spend on your family and give them financial security. You have the ability to to turn the ripple into waves but you can't make the waves without the ripples.
