Small Is The Real Big

By Mike Lipkin

If you want 2006 to be the best year of your life, process your world through Lipkin’s Magical Filter: There is no such thing as "ordinary." Just beneath the surface, the magic is percolating.

Just beneath the surface, the magic is percolating. Everything, everyone, every day is exceptional. Everything has distinction. Everyone is gestating a Hero within him. We’re all a giant to someone else. Every day is an opportunity to break through. The smallest actions can have the biggest impact. God is in the details, the subtleties, the nuances and the hints all around us. Fascination is the only lens through which life should be observed. A look, a thought, a gesture, a smile can make history. One act can make all the difference. One person with courage can change his world. Small is the real big. The miracle is the here and now.

In 2006, the real winners will be the people whom I call Keepers of The Flame. These are the people who go first. They have a heightened awareness of their impact on others. They are their own best coach. They are people in total sync with their environment. They are embedded with the authority of both competence and character. They inspire others to be their personal best. They live each day as though it were both their first and their last. They listen, learn and let go. They live in wonder. They stay forever fresh so the people around them never grow stale.

They are someone like you. Someone like the person you will become. Or someone like the person you need to rediscover. Happy Rediscovery. See your world through fresh eyes in 2006 and you’ll see so much more. All power to you!
