I was scrolling through my WhatsApp today and I saw someone’s status about the piggy bank. This person has been saving in the piggy bank for a year and he only put the change with him into it, he never took the piggy bank seriously, but today when he was breaking the bank, he realized that he had saved over 200,000 naira by just putting his change into the piggy bank. He was surprised, this guy was sharing the story that he always found it difficult to save money and never took the piggy bank seriously, he would have saved more if he had taken it seriously even by just putting his leftover money into the piggy bank, he was able to achieve a lot.
People struggle a lot with things like this simply because simple things make the biggest changes. Simple things are hard and we can’t always keep up with them. We have so many people who want to follow me to the gym and want to do my routine even though I try to take it slow with them and make it as simple as possible, They find it difficult to be consistent with it, no matter how simple it is, if you are consistent with it the kind of change it will bring into your life will surprise you and everyone around you.
Simple changes are more powerful
Just like the guy sharing his story on WhatsApp, he found it difficult to save money but with the help of a piggy bank, he was able to save. When we are trying to change some things in our life It is always better to start simple. Most people always think that starting simply will not make a big change, but they don’t think about the consistency in it, no matter how small the change is as long as you are consistent with it, it will always have a good result but everybody is concerned about instant result and a big change.
Making a simple change can indeed take a long time before you can see physical changes. This can be tiring because the change might not be obvious at first and takes a long time before it becomes obvious to everybody. When you know you can’t start big why not simple, sometimes starting simple will give us the heart and mind to do more, It will create a habit for us and also a platform to build on, but when we are waiting to start big we might not be able to get anything done. It is always better to start small and simple to make it easier for ourselves so that we can quickly develop into what we want.
Simplicity is hard
it is very difficult to be consistent with something simple, they seems insignificant and we believe that if we are not consistent with them they don’t make any difference, but they are the powerful tool that we need because it creates an environment where what seems difficult on paper becomes easy, and some people believe simplicity is very hard because it gives them the mind of being easy instead of challenging,it is very important that when we can not start with higher energy or with something hard is always better to start with something simple and let it compound and the result will show.
Thanks for your time.
