0:00.0	Yo, hey everyone. This week, my message to you is that the small things matter.
0:09.3	The small things matter. They really do matter. They really do count. And that is something that I have
0:14.5	been telling myself all week. This morning, I shared a post on Instagram and I wrote the one second
0:19.9	rule. And I was talking about how
0:21.8	when we make a decision, often, like it takes one second to make a decision, a yes or a no, or to
0:27.2	take an action impulsively. And often when we make a decision in that one second, we just choose
0:34.3	the thing with the least resistance, the most desirable outcome in that moment
0:38.5	whereas if we were to think about how we were going to feel about that decision in 24 hours
0:43.6	time we might choose differently so when I'm talking about you know the small things matter
0:48.3	it's like a perfect example is like waking up in the morning I had a few messages about this
0:53.0	you know I've listened to the power
0:54.5	hour I understand my concept I get it but I just I'm just not you know I can't get up and I snooze my
1:00.3	alarm a couple of times and does it matter and this thing of the small things matter is that's a
1:04.9	perfect example so if you set your alarm for 545 and you hit snooze twice, does it matter? That's the point. Often
1:13.0	people go, well, it doesn't matter. It's just snooze. That's what it's there for. It's not the end of the
1:16.0	world. It's not a big deal. You hit snooze. It's only 10 minutes. It doesn't matter. But the reason
1:21.5	that I'm saying the small things matter so, so much is because it's cumulative. So it's the action and what that action represents
1:29.0	and saying, you know, I don't want to be accountable to what I said I was going to do or I don't
1:35.0	have the energy to do the thing I said I was going to do right now or, you know, even just the fact
1:40.0	that actually that 10 minutes, you know, 10 minutes, 10 minutes, that 20 minutes later on, say, for example, fast forward an hour and a half, you're on your way to work,
1:48.3	you might be driving, you might be stuck in traffic, I don't know, a couple of people
1:51.8	cut in the line and suddenly you're like honking the horn, like mad, like, oh, I'm going to be late,
