Small changes in direction may make a huge difference in your destination. You know that. But it’s easy to fall into a routine and end up some place you would rather not be.
So many areas in life follow this principle. Here are some areas where small actions now may make a huge difference down the road:
- Invest a dollar a day in a savings account
- Read a few pages a day in a new area of interest
- Say “I love you” to your spouse every morning and evening
- Turn off the TV for one evening every week and talk together
- Walk 15 minutes at lunch time every day
- Plant a tree every year
- Read 5 verses of Scripture first thing every morning
- Say “I’m sorry” before a relationship wound begins to fester
- Get regular maintenance on your vehicle
- Show up to work on time
- Donate lightly-used clothing to charity
- Balance your electronic checkbook regularly
