Remember little things are not small. George Washington's favorite saying was that many mickles make a muckle. It was an old Scottish proverb that illustrates the truth we all know.

Things add up even the little ones. The Stoics believed it was the little things that added up to virtue. How you treated someone. What your routine was like the training you underwent, the rules you followed, what habits you cultivated.

Day to day practiced over a lifetime. This is what created greatness. This is what led to wisdom.

Well, being is realized by small steps, you know, would say looking back on his life, but it is truly no small thing, which is why today and every day you need to think about those little things because they are worth sweating.

You need to create good habits. You need to stick to your rules. You can't make excuses to yourself by saying, oh, this doesn't matter because it adds up because it determines what you'll accomplish and what you won't.

And most importantly, it determines who you are.
