A friend of mine recently shared a quote with me (forgot the actual source) that has really made a profound difference in my life.
“How you do anything is how you do everything.”
Doesn’t make much sense when you first hear or read it, but look closer then think about your own actions in daily life and it really starts to make complete sense.
Since ever I’ve done things – everything – just above average. Not poor, not great, but good enough. I wouldn’t settle for mediocre, but nor would I strive for remarkable.
Now I’ve taken a step back to observe my work more and make an effort to really be remarkable in anything I do so that everything starts to become remarkable.
I hope it sticks.
