Forget about sweating

Everyone worries about the big stuff. We stay up at night concerned about our career. Thinking about which school our children will attend, and how we will pay for their college. We are told to concern ourselves with these big things and not to “sweat the small stuff.” Then authors write clever books telling us to sweat the small things because they are important too.

I say forget about sweating or worrying about anything… big or small. Instead, focus on mastering. Master the small things. Mastery happens when habits are no longer tendencies but normal actions. So practice excellent small habits. These seem insignificant, but they are the soil in which success can grow. For example,  master the art of interpersonal conversation and watch your network widen. Here is a simple one, master the ability to walk on a street with confidence. Instead of staring at the ground when you pass people look them in the eye as you pass and say hello. I guarantee that this small habit will begin to cultivate a person of charisma and confidence in you.

Forget about sweating or not sweating the big or smalls stuff. Concern yourself with mastering small habits every day.
