No big deal, celebrate anyway

A friend was telling me she talked at her local library in front of 10 people a while ago. She said, "I was scared for the first few minutes and then I relaxed a bit and it went okay. And now, they want me back! I'm still a bit scared but excited."

Now a lot of people aren't going to think it's any big deal you speaking to 10 people at the library. But that's ok. They don't get it you see. What's big about it is you do it even though it's scary.

This is the 'Magic of Thinking Small' and celebrating your small victories.

This is how to get things started. Small steps. Tiny victories. These tiny steps build your confidence and give you the power to stretch yourself even more.

These steps are worth celebrating because they're the first steps to building something great.

You were born to do something great.

There's greatness inside of you. Discover it.

How? Start by thinking about what you enjoy, where are your strengths and passions.

As long as you don't beat yourself up, you'll realize you really do have great things to offer others.
