One Tiny Yet Hard Step You Need to Take for Yourself….Marc and Angel

| Chandru Gidwani

Eventually you will end up where you need to be, doing the right things alongside the right people. Patience is the key. But remember that patience is NOT about waiting, it is the ability to maintain a positive outlook while working HARD for what you believe in…

And yes, doing the hard yet necessary things to resolve your issues and heal your wounds can feel impossible at times. This is how Marc and I felt just over a decade ago when we were knocked down and stuck in a rut after simultaneously losing two loved ones — including my dear brother— to suicide and illness. It was nearly impossible to move anywhere significant when we didn’t feel we had the strength to push forward.

If you’re kinda feeling this way right now — like it’s impossible to make significant progress — you aren’t wrong for feeling what you feel. You’re 100% right: significant progress comes gradually with time and consistency, regardless of your circumstances. It’s all about taking one tiny positive step at a time, and staying the course…

The Power of Tiny Changes

Think about the fact that it only takes a one degree change in temperature to convert water to vapor, or ice to water. It’s such a tiny change — just one step in a different direction — and yet the results are dramatic. A tiny change can make all the difference in the world.

Now, consider another example where a tiny change is compounded by time and distance. Perhaps you’re trying to travel somewhere specific, but you’re off course by just one tiny degree in the wrong direction…

  • After one mile, you would be off course by over 92 feet.
  • If you were trying to travel from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., you would land near Baltimore, Maryland, over 42 miles away from your desired destination.
  • Traveling around the world from Washington, D.C. back to Washington D.C., you’d miss by 435 miles and end up landing near Boston instead.
  • In a spaceship traveling to the moon, a one-degree error would have you missing the moon by over 4,100 miles.

You get the idea — over time and distance, a mere one-degree change in course makes a significant difference…

time and distance

This same philosophy holds true in various aspects of our lives. The tiniest things we do each day — positive and negative alike — can make all the difference. They either bring us closer or farther away from where we ultimately want to be. And yet, we mostly ignore this reality. We default to behaving as if our daily actions won’t ever be significant enough. Or we try to exert control over the bigger things we have no control over.

Think about it…

  • How many people uphold unhealthy and unproductive habits?
  • How many people procrastinate on the next positive step?
  • How many people live every day of their lives moving one degree away from where they ultimately want to be?

Don’t be one of them anymore!

Truth be told, everyone travels 24 hours a day, whether they’re moving in the right direction or not…

Is this email your wake up call?

How many times have you thought “this isn’t working” or “something is not right” or “things have to change”? — those thoughts and words are from your inner voice. It’s your wake-up call calling. You don’t need more stress or a major crisis to wake up. And no one needs to tell you because you already know. Your inner voice has been trying to tell you, but in case it’s been a challenge to find time and space to listen through the chaos, maybe you’ll resonate with one of these situations.

  • If your life is aimlessly on auto-pilot, this is your wake-up call.
  • If you never put yourself first, this is your wake-up call.
  • If you’ve become someone you don’t recognize to please other people or to chase some version of success that doesn’t resonate with you, this is your wake-up call.
  • If you are constantly numbing out with food, shopping, booze, TV, or other distractions, this is your wake-up call.
  • If you are worn down, beat up, stressed out, and completely depleted, this is your wake-up call.

Getting your wake-up call is not the hard part, answering the call is. Choosing to answer the call instead of ignoring it is hard. Right now, it may feel easier to keep going, and going, and going gradually in the wrong direction. But you know if you don’t find a way out of the endless cycle you’re in, it’s going to get worse.

A 14-year-old girl Anvi, suffering from down syndrome with 75 per cent intellectual disability, met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi today. She is popularly known as Rubber Girl, due to her flexibility despite of her medical conditions.

Anvi’s father Vijay Zanzarukia said about her talent, "We had lost all hope in life, then discovered Anvi’s flexibility. Yoga gave her new life. It is like a dream come true. It was possibly the biggest day of her life when she met PM Modi today and performed yoga in front of him."

"Yoga has been a boon, she practices Yoga every day for one hour in the morning & again in the evening. In competitions, she has performed with other normal children and has won several awards." Anvi’s mother Avani Zanzarukia, responded.

She had undergone open heart surgery and she is suffering from mitral valve leakage at present. She has a disability in the large intestine due to 21 trisomy and harsh spring disease. She also faces difficulty in speaking.

Anvi, a resident of Gujarat’s Surat, is suffering from Down Syndrome with 75 per cent intellectual disability. She won Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar on January 24 this year.

She was accompanied by her parents who have arrived in Delhi from Surat to participate in an event on Thursday, later they approached the Prime Minister’s Office with a request to meet the PM and they were amazed after they got a call from the Prime Minister’s Office confirming their meeting.

"It is like a dream come true. It was possibly the biggest day of her life where she met PM Modi and performed yoga in front of him," Anvi’s father Vijay Zanzarukia said.

He added that she used to call PM Narendra Modi as "Namo Dada". During the meeting she performed yoga in front of him, the PM also appreciated her efforts and blessed her with a great future. He has promised to meet her next time when he comes to Gujarat.

"It was like we are sitting with a family member and he (PM Modi) interacted with Anvi and said he will talk about her in Maan ki Baat. He is a very grounded person with a great gesture," he said.

During the meeting, she also got a signature of PM Modi on her Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar certificate.
