The Smallest Spark
How often do we find ourselves waiting? Waiting for the right moment, the right mood, the right amount of free time. We wait, and wait, and wait some more.
Find the small spark within you that needs only the gentlest breath to became a flame - and give it air today!
Tolkien’s stories remind us, every great journey begins with a single step. Sometimes that tiny first step, that small beginning, is exactly what gets things moving. Suddenly, things start to happen, and momentum carries them forward.
The trouble is, something else always wins. There’s a report to finish. Dinner to cook. Another unproductive meeting where we have to look present, or where we’re not really present at all, just there in body.
So it’s worth asking yourself: is there something around you that needs only a little air to come alive?
Think of it like a spark in a campfire. Give it just a bit of your attention, a moment of real thought, and it becomes unstoppable. You get pulled into a wonderful whirlwind where things start happening, faster and faster, because they give you feedback. You can see something good taking shape.
That feedback gives you even more energy. You start acting with real intent, because you can see the results, and the results motivate you even more. It starts to feel good.
It’s a bit like cleaning out that one drawer. You peek inside and it’s a disaster. But once you finally start sorting it, or dusting, or washing the windows, you realize that setting the avalanche in motion wasn’t nearly as hard as you thought.
