Toyotomi Hideyoshi - Win Small! Win Often!

Hideyoshi - Small Victories.png
The seeds of great victory lie in minor triumphs.
— Toyotomi Hideyoshi
One big win is simply a cascade of smaller ones.
— Samurai Wisdom

Every little #decision leading up to that big moment.  Every detail of #preparation.  Every tiny #effort.  Every small victory that comes as a #result of #failure.


It's possible to get paralyzed thinking of how much #work needs to be done.  It's possible to feel #overwhelmed, and thus NEVER START.


But if you avoid the small, you'll never attain the big...


Celebrate each small #victory ✌ 


While the payoff may not be as big, it's still #progress.  


Toyotomi Hideyoshi knows a thing or two about victory.  He is remembered as one of the key figures in unifying Japan in the late 1500s.  A very #powerful figure, he began as a peasant, became a #Samurai, and rose to become, essentially, the #leader of all Japan. 


His incredible and #successful rise to #power would not be possible without MILLIONS of micro-victories.


What are #MicroVictories ?


Reading 1 more sentence when studying 


Waking up 3 minutes earlier than usual


Doing 1 more minute of exercise


Asking that question instead of keeping your curiosity hidden


Introducing yourself to that person you want to be involved with instead of allowing your insecurities to control your actions


#Live each second as if it might be your last, and #GOFORIT!


WIN SMALL!  WIN OFTEN!
