The Smallest Acts

“Put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even to your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.” - Swami Sivananda

Every day is a string of small acts… little, mundane, (mainly) unseen acts. Waking up, getting dressed, driving, working. All along the way we are confronted with tiny little decisions that may seem insignificant as they are presented. Are these things the least important aspects of our lives, or perhaps the most important?

We’re taught from an early age that parts make up the whole. That it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. But what does the daily journey look like? Simple. A daily journey is the aforementioned string of small acts - it’s what you say, what you do, and how you do it. A great life is the result of little things tended to with great care.

If that sounds familiar, it’s because this is the exact principle upon which All Weather Bangles rest. The thoughtfulness and intention you put into your simple, personal AWB ritual directly influences your reality and, ultimately, your success. It’s a small action, but yields a huge result.

Success is the result of good habits. Successful people all attribute their relative success to something different… waking up early, networking, traveling, hiring the right people, etc. but the common denominator is often one thing: passion. Passion and success go hand-in-hand because it’s like a full-body commitment to the cause, and a cause is made up of many small parts. So whether you strive to be successful at work, at home, in your community, or just in life, be passionate. Give it your heart, mind, intellect and soul and you will reap the rewards.
