What is the most trivial task you are doing every day? This could be a chore like in laundry, washing dishes, or sweeping the floor? Now, the real question is, “Did you do this small thing at your best possible?”
Often times, the most trivial things test your ability to do your best. If you are good at small things then you can do big things. Before your boss can trust you with a big task, you must be tested and prove you are deemed worthy of that big task by looking at how well you performed in small tasks.
Immediately doing those big assignments without doing small undertakings, will only give you headaches, anxiety and is doomed to failure. It’s impossible to succeed in running a big, multinational company without learning how to run a startup. Starting at the bottom, then working your way up is sound advice. Eventually, doing momentous tasks would be easy because you know how now.
‘You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will put you in charge of large amounts.’
Matthew 25:21
When you were still small, it’s easier at first to pluck a low hanging fruit rather than picking the fruit on top of the tree. Later, as you grow taller and wiser, you can use a ladder to pluck the fruit high above the tree since you’ve learned much in the process as time went by. Don’t forget to write down all the things you’ve learned every day because learning valuable lessons is crucial to reach your dreams.
A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
