Look at your life right now.
Your relationships. Your health. Your peace of mind.
None of it was built by grand gestures or dramatic declarations.
It was built in moments too small to notice.
In choices too subtle to remember.
In decisions you didn't even know you were making.
That extra minute you spent scrolling instead of sleeping last night. That conversation you avoided because it felt uncomfortable. That workout you skipped because you were "too busy." That book you said you'd read "someday."
These moments feel insignificant. Like drops of water falling on stone. Each one, on its own, too small to matter.
But water shapes mountains.
