Reflecting on the book I once
read, Atomic Habits, and also reflecting on my long Community Organising life,
the importance of small wins should not be taken lightly. Going for small wins;
celebrating those small wins; and using those
small wins as spring board to gain added impetus to do more is vital to win
big.
We often want to see a big change
all at once and focus only on big things. How about developing a habit of going
for small wins every now and then and seeing the compound effect through the
process? Our habits are dependent on us. They could be for us or against us. What
is important is to make them for us and make them consistently for us.
‘The task of breaking a bad habit
is like uprooting a powerful oak within us; whereas the task of building a good
habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time.’- excerpts from
Atomic Habits
