Sweating The Small Stuff Really Matters

By Evan Sanders


Where does that thing called confidence really come from?

Some people would argue that you are born with confidence and others would argue that like anything else you can build it into your foundation over a period of time. As someone who has had a lot of confidence, then lost all of it, and had to rebuild it back from ground zero I would side with those who say it can be built.

Perhaps you have none in your life at the moment, or perhaps you just desire some more because you know exactly how much it would aid you with making choices. But really, where does this confidence come from?

There are these little things I really like to call momentum builders that help you create confidence over time. Confidence, and the development of long lasting confidence comes from the activity of sweating the details, the tiny stuff, the things that most people often overlook. Why are these momentum builders important? Because when you can nail the little details down, and really knock those out of the park day in and day out, you build yourself some forward movement. You essentially get yourself out of the mud and heading in a direction.

Then, when you start to build some serious momentum from doing the little things right, you can raise the bar on your life and start going after bigger goals. Those bigger goals become more doable because you have the background and experience of doing all of the little things right. That's what confidence is really made out of. Confidence is built from knowing you can perform a task because you have done something similar before. Confidence comes from trust.

Sweat the small stuff. Sweat it because those are the things that are going to make you successful. Those are the things that are going to help you move forward on your climb up the mountain.

When you start to build some serious momentum in your life, there's no stopping you. Instead of focusing on huge goals to give you that momentum, think about the small daily activities that will help you get there.

Those little daily choices are the momentum builders.

Build some major momentum behind you and you are really capable of amazing things. But first, you have to sweat the really small stuff.
