"He who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much." Luke 16:10 "Small tasks are the pebbles that pave the road to greatness. Master them, and you'll find yourself on a path to larger responsibilities." Every day, we encounter countless small tasks that may seem insignificant at first glance. Yet, in these little duties, our character is forged and our faithfulness is tested. Just as a tiny seed grows into a mighty oak tree, our diligence in minor responsibilities can lead us to greater opportunities. The Bible reminds us, "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much" (Luke 16:10). When we commit ourselves to the small things, we open doors to bigger challenges and responsibilities. Each time we choose to be diligent—whether it's completing a work assignment, helping a neighbor, or even organizing our personal space—we are building a foundation for future success. These small acts of faithfulness reflect our commitment to God and His purpose for our lives. Proverbs 11:3 says, "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the faithless destroys them." Remember this: "Small Steps, Big Impact." Each step you take in faith, no matter how small, leads you closer to your destiny. This is similar to the Magnificent Life Daily Devotion, which may seem small and routine but ultimately guides you toward fulfilling your life's purpose. In the same way, when we embrace the little things, we cultivate a spirit of excellence that prepares us for the bigger challenges ahead. "The seeds of diligence in small tasks grow into the oaks of leadership." Nurturing these seeds requires patience and perseverance, but the fruits are abundant. As we remain steadfast in our commitments, we can trust that God will honor our faithfulness and elevate us in due time. Remember, every grand journey begins with a single, humble step; take those steps with confidence! Proverbs 28:20 says, "A faithful man will abound with blessings, but one eager to be rich will not go unpunished." Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder of the importance of faithfulness in all areas of our lives. Help us to see the value in small tasks and to approach them with diligence and joy. May our efforts lead us closer to the responsibilities You have in store for us. Guide our hearts and strengthen our resolve as we walk the path You've laid before us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen." 

Have you ever found yourself thinking... “It’s all been done.” “What if I start and fail?” “What if my voice doesn’t matter?” “What if it’s already too late?” If so, you're not alone—and this week’s episode of The Love Offering podcast is one you can’t miss. I had the absolute joy of sitting down with author and speaker Mary Marantz to talk about her brand-new book, Underestimated. In it, she speaks directly to the fears and excuses that keep us stuck in place—silent, small, and sidelined from the calling God has placed on our hearts. Together, we talk about how to move from stuck to start, how to quiet the inner critic (and the outer ones too), and why your voice does matter in this world. Mary shares not only the wisdom she’s gleaned but also practical, grace-filled steps to help you finally quit playing small and step into the story God has written just for you. You are not too late. You are not too much. And you are certainly not underqualified. Let’s stop sitting on the sidelines and start walking in faith—one small, brave step at a time.

Today, we're focusing on the power of small, faithful steps. Every tiny step toward self-control matters and is seen by God!

It's day one of a healthier, smarter, better you. You're full of zest and good intentions. You woke up at 5am to run before work, you read a book in your lunchbreak, and you listened to an English podcast on your commute. Now, fast forward three months. Life is getting in the way, and you've slipped into old habits… snoozing your alarm and eating chocolate for breakfast. Sound familiar?这是一个更健康，更聪明的人之一，更好。 您充满了热情和良好的意愿。 您在凌晨5点醒来去上班前跑步，您在午餐时间读了一本书，然后听了通勤时的英语播客。 现在，快进了三个月。 生活陷入困境，您已经陷入了旧的习惯……打招呼闹钟，吃早餐时吃巧克力。 听起来很熟悉吗？ Don't be hard on yourself. It's unrealistic to rely on willpower alone. As James Clear, author of the bestselling book 'Atomic Habits', writes, "The problem isn't you. The problem is your system." Our habits come from goals, so start by getting really clear. Goals, according to George T Doran, should be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. It's not enough to say, "I'll exercise more" – that's too vague! A SMART goal would be "I'm going to walk for 20 minutes in the evenings on weekdays." Now you have a clear action that you can stick to. 不要对自己很难。 独自依靠意志力是不现实的。 正如詹姆斯·凯尔（James Clear）所说的那样，畅销书《原子习惯》的作者写道：“问题不是你。问题是您的系统。” 我们的习惯来自目标，因此首先要变得非常清楚。 根据乔治·T多兰（George T Doran）的说法，目标应该很聪明：具体，可衡量，可实现，相关和时间限制。 这还不足以说：“我会锻炼更多” - 太模糊了！ 一个明智的目标是“我要在工作日的晚上步行20分钟。” 现在，您有一个明确的行动可以坚持。Once you're clear on your goals, you need to make the associated habits as automatic as possible. Try 'habit stacking', a technique popularised in the book 'Atomic Habits', which involves attaching a new habit onto something you already do regularly. For example, if you already make coffee every morning, use that moment to read your book for 20 minutes. That way, your new reading habit is now intertwined with something you're going to do anyway. Another key strategy is to reward yourself, to transform the habit from a chore into something pleasurable. If it's hard to get yourself to the gym, promise yourself that after each visit, you'll allow yourself a treat – a takeaway meal or an episode of your favourite TV show. 一旦明确了目标，就需要使相关习惯尽可能自动。 尝试“习惯堆积”，这是一种在书中普及的技术，它涉及将新习惯固定在您已经定期做的事情上。 例如，如果您每天早上已经煮咖啡，请使用那一刻阅读您的书20分钟。 这样，您的新阅读习惯现在与您要做的事情交织在一起。 另一个关键策略是奖励自己，将习惯从琐事转变为令人愉悦的东西。 如果很难让自己去健身房，请保证每次访问后，您就会允许自己一顿 - 外卖餐或您最喜欢的电视节目的一集。Even with our best intentions and a great system, stress and interruptions to your routine like social events can still make keeping habits feel like an uphill battle. If or when you have setbacks, accept it as part of the process. Life is full of spontaneity and uncertainty – one could argue that's what keeps it interesting! Use setbacks as a pause for reflection and review. What about your system is working? What's no longer serving you? Then, get back on track. 即使我们的最佳意图以及伟大的系统，对您的日常活动的压力和打扰仍然可以使保持习惯像是一场艰苦的战斗。 如果或当您有挫折时，请接受它作为过程的一部分。 生活充满了自发性和不确定性 - 有人可能会说这使它变得有趣！ 使用挫折作为暂停进行反思和审查。 那您的系统呢？ 什么不再为您服务？ 然后，回到正轨。

Episode Notes: -Teacher, H.S. Administrator, worked for the State Department in Kentucky, and a middle and high school expert, and worked nationally with schools on instructional improvement and instructional leadership. -Coaching Redefined Book- instructional leaders can have a guide book of how to set it up effectively and all of the components that go into it: growing yourself to growing your school and thinking of the culture of the school. It came from a desire to make it work and from real experience in a coaching and admin role. -Intentional Instructional Moves Book- it sets up what classroom instruction should look like based on research and the intentional steps to get there. The audience is to teachers because they are the ones who will make these shifts. It is also powerful for admins or coaches, but it starts with the teacher shifts. -Actions speak louder than words, teachers see what we are doing as coaches. We need to be humble in our position, and know we are all learners. We are not the people who know it all. Coaches can show that they are still learning too. -Ask reflective questions. Have a listening tour prior to meeting with a teacher. Constantly ask questions, ask for feedback, and all the nuances in between. See the best in people as coaches. -We need to believe in the teachers' ability to grow constantly!  -Listening Tour - when schools try it, they think it is the best thing. It shapes the coaching within our school. A respectful approach to how we lead. It can change your trajectory in how teachers in your school see coaching.  -Get clarity around your role as a coach. See the website for questions to ask and the admin when entering that role. They understand the parameters and protocols within that role. -Recognize the positive part of the instructional methods. There is a lot of research as to how individuals are recognized for their positive work,  engaged deeper in the work, and is connected to retention. All is important for us in education right now. We need to recognize the positive things teachers do.  -Provide timely, honest, and consistent feedback. -Honest conversations can go a long way. Critical conversations grounded in the third point of data can also be powerful. -When we look back, we can remember which teachers believed in us, respected us, and loved us - and we know the ones who didn't. And for those who did, we would do anything in the world they asked us to improve.  -We need to have collaborative goals set with our teachers.  Research shows  that goals can bump our productivity from 11 to 25 percent. Think about that per classroom. A clear goal set with that teacher could make a huge impact. That has to be a collaborative goal. -We need to differentiate as coaches for educators. If we expect teachers to model differentiation for our students, we also have to model that differentiated learning.  -Research shows that our walk-throughs should take between 3- 10 minutes. If the goal is right you will be able to see it in that amount of time. Sometimes we can spend too much time. Then they miss out on other classrooms. If we can get in more often but for less time we will see greater growth in those educators we are coaching.  -We have to be very intentional with our time and our feedback. We have to think about the small steps.  We have to be mindful of their next step, not necessarily where we want them to be. Those can at times be two very different places, but focus on the small steps. Think about not the end mark, but the next small step in that learning progression.  -Intentional Instructional Moves - it outlines those big concepts of effective instruction, and breaks it down to intentional steps, and a virtual guide to have all the resources for each strategy.  -Human growth and psychology research and podcasts can be helpful. Listen to the podcasts and it can impact your work. -Take accurate notes- so we can see what we are doing so we can get where we are trying to go. -Coaches are collaborators of content and that partner for growth, that understands teachers do not come to school as a blank slate. They have other things going on outside of the school. We all need the support of other humans.  -Embedded coaching has the largest impact on student learning. It is hard because it is so important. It is also equally rich and rewarding.  -Find yourself a community of coaches and latch onto them. It is how people see things they need to see within themselves.    Connect with Sherry: -reflecttolearn.com - newsletter sign up there -Twitter, Instagram & Facebook

Who will you be?  Sharing personal stories—like the life-changing phone call with his daughter and powerful moments from his own health journey—Allan explores the importance of living up to who we're truly meant to be, rather than settling for the life we've drifted into. You'll hear how a short, focused period of effort can drastically change the course of your life, why vision matters for both the immediate and the distant future, and how real-life scenarios highlight what's truly at stake when it comes to your health. Plus, Allan introduces his new Fit for Task Bootcamp, designed to help you take those first critical steps toward reclaiming your health and unlocking your full potential.

Whether it's writing a book, leading a business, or learning to kitesurf at 42 (yes, I really did that), this conversation is a reminder that success is not about fairy dust – it's about steady, consistent, powerful choices.We spoke about what happens when life feels like a cul-de-sac, when perfectionism gets in the way of progress, and how sometimes saying yes to uncomfortable opportunities is the very thing that takes you to the next level. Cathy shares how she navigated being parachuted onto the first South African Everest team – as the only woman – and how she's learned to let go of the “token” label and find confidence through action.We also dove into the power of physical challenge – why sports like climbing or kitesurfing can be an antidote to rumination, stress, and even imposter syndrome. Cathy had so much wisdom to share about how we lead ourselves and others, how we perform under pressure, and why empathy isn't a gift – it's a tool.This one will stick with me for a long time, and I hope it stays with you too.Inside this episode:What extra-Ordinary leadership really meansWhy we need to let go of perfectionismHow to reframe tokenism and self-doubtThe difference between stress responses – and how to manage themWhy physical adventure can transform your mindsetHow to use empathy as a tool – especially in high-stakes leadershipThe 'STOP' technique Cathy uses in moments of pressureThe surprising link between coffee, presence, and performanceMentions & Links:Learn more about Cathy: https://www.cathyodowd.comBook Cathy to speak: https://www.cathyodowd.com/keynote-speaking/My book The extra-Ordinary Leader: https://www.dollywaddell.com/store/p/the-extra-ordinary-leader

The path of following Jesus provides ample opportunities to do amazing feats, but they typically are completed by simple steps along the way. As we help others, we must provide them with achievable goals as they progress.

In this episode, Pastor David unpacks Joshua 17-19, where the land is divided among the tribes of Israel. While these details may seem insignificant, they reveal God's precision, faithfulness, and purpose in every part of His plan. Just as He was intentional with Israel's inheritance, He cares about the details in our lives—our struggles, decisions, and daily obedience. Pastor David challenges us to consider: Are we paying attention to the small steps of faith, or only looking for big breakthroughs? God's blessings often come through obedience in the little things. When we trust Him with the details, we step into the fullness of His promises. SUBSCRIBE for more biblical encouragement like this!

Brown, Chris Sullivan, Def Jam Records, StoryShots, Ego, story shorts, Red Hot Chili Peppers, In the book summary of I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi, the focus is on developing a personal financial strategy that empowers individuals to take control of their financial futures. The book emphasizes the importance of defining what being rich means to you personally, and encourages conscious spending by tracking expenses and making informed financial decisions. Sethi advocates for prioritizing spending on things you truly love while cutting back on less important expenses. The summary highlights key strategies for financial success, including starting early to leverage compound interest and breaking free from excuses that hinder financial growth. Sethi recommends focusing on macro financial decisions rather than getting caught up in minor cost-cutting measures. The book outlines 12 critical financial strategies, such as automating your money system, maintaining a good credit score, getting employer 401k matches, and negotiating raises. A central theme of the book is creating an automatic money management system that simplifies financial planning and helps individuals stick to long-term financial goals. By setting up multiple accounts for different purposes - including checking, savings, credit cards, retirement, and investment accounts - individuals can more effectively manage their finances. Sethi's approach is practical and non-judgmental, focusing on creating sustainable financial habits that align with personal values and long-term objectives. Key takeaways: Define what being 'rich' means to you personally and practice conscious spending by prioritizing expenses that truly matter to you Start investing and building wealth early to leverage compound interest and establish smart money habits over time Avoid making excuses that prevent financial progress; take action even if your initial steps aren't perfect Focus on macro financial strategies like automating your money system, maintaining a good credit score, and contributing to retirement accounts rather than getting stuck on minor expenses Set up an automatic money management system with multiple accounts (checking, savings, credit card, retirement, investment) to simplify finances and ensure consistent financial habits Prioritize five to ten key financial actions that yield significant results, such as negotiating raises, cutting major expenses, and using credit cards strategically Adopt a mindset of financial growth by being willing to start small and consistently improve your money management skills Challenge conventional financial wisdom by making informed, personalized decisions about spending and investing based on your individual goals (00:00) Introduction to The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin (01:05) About Rick Rubin (01:50) Everyone Is a Creator (02:55) Living Life as an Artist (03:53) Look Inward (04:52) Trust Your Intuition (06:17) Don't Let Doubt Hinder Your Creativity (07:25) Breaking Through the Creative Block (08:21) 10 Small Steps for Shaking up Your Process (10:53) 4 Steps to Bringing Creative Work to Life (12:17) Finding Fulfillment Through Experimentation and Completion (13:48) Final Summary and Review (15:00) Rating Related Book Summaries Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace Discipline is Destiny by Ryan Holiday The War of Art by Steven Pressfield The Good Life by Robert Waldinger The Practice by Seth Godin Never Finished by David Goggins Learn more about your ad choices.

The updates promise sharper interfaces and smoother spatial experiences, but we can't help but speculate about those elusive Apple Intelligence features lurking on the horizon. While some are dazzled by the enhancements, others remain unconvinced—sparking a spirited debate over whether Vision Pro can justify its hefty price tag and overcome lukewarm reviews. The question lingers: Can Vision Pro truly redefine spatial computing? Shifting focus, we explore the newest iOS 18.4 and macOS betas, where priority notifications and ambient music control take center stage. Jill tests out the new sketch features, delivering a candid review of their usability and what she hopes to see polished by the final release. Meanwhile, the Apple Music app steps up its game with improved DJ integration, aiming to stake its claim as a heavyweight in the music scene. Marty then takes us on a real-world test drive with the iPhone 16e and its shiny new C1 modem during a conference in Orlando. The connectivity results? Surprising and impressive. We dissect his findings, comparing them to other devices and contemplating what these performance gains mean for Apple's hardware evolution. With WWDC looming on the horizon, we can't help but speculate about the big reveals and potential breakthroughs that could reshape user experiences. Switching gears to lighter fare, we chat about the Apple Car's savings account interest rates and how they stack up against competitors. Nostalgia kicks in when we reminisce about T-Mobile's annual MLB.tv offer, a testament to loyalty perks that keep customers hooked year after year. As we wrap up, we delve into Apple's entertainment ecosystem with updates on Apple Music Classical and the latest Apple TV+ comedy series, “The Studio.” We celebrate Apple's relentless push for innovation across content and subscription services while encouraging listeners to join us at the upcoming Macstock conference this July—a must-attend event for Apple enthusiasts.

Learn 7 reasons why the Law of Attraction is unproductive and even harmful. The Law of Attraction says your thoughts and feelings manifest your reality; they contain vibrations and frequencies that create tangible outcomes or visible results. It's pseudoscience that makes vague references to neurology, metaphysics and quantum mechanics.  The law of attraction is a New Thought or New Age concept. The idea is that whatever you desire, the universe will provide. The 3 steps of manifestation are to ask, belief and receive. There is no action step.  When you're in the realm of possibility, action typically beats inaction. You could break down the challenge to make the action steps easier, struggle less, and apply the effort that you can reasonably manage. The incrementalist approach is more doable than trying to harness your mind power to manifest desired outcomes. Website: http://www.dyanwilliams.com/ The Incrementalist: A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small Steps, is available on Amazon and Leanpub: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFHYHGFZ(Pros: lowest price for readers and readily available on Kindle) https://leanpub.com/incrementalist(Pros: price flexibility for readers and 60-day money back guarantee) Watch the YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@theincrementalist/ Subscribe to e-newsletter at: https://bit.ly/3J9EbsD

Are you overwhelmed by the idea of setting up Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for your business? Don't worry—this episode of Life and Listings is here to change that! Join us as we sit down with Jen Davis, the Training and Tech Coordinator at Staat Solutions, who shares practical, easy-to-implement strategies for creating SOPs that actually work. Whether you're a solopreneur, a team leader, or simply looking to streamline your processes, Jen's insights will help you save time, increase efficiency, and set your business up for success. Listen now and take control of your workflow!   “As you start to streamline these things, you'll also see where you're wasting time. Where can I get back some time? Because before I had all of these things scattered around, and they weren't organized, and I wasn't doing them in a systematic way, things become sort of a little chaotic. So you can actually gain back more time by keeping things in a very consistent, repeatable process.” - Jen Davis   Let's talk about: The Importance of SOPs – Why having Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is crucial for business efficiency, consistency, and scalability. Starting Small with SOPs – How businesses can begin with simple checklists and templates instead of overwhelming, complex documentation. Time-Saving Benefits – How SOPs help streamline tasks, eliminate repetitive work, and free up time for more important business activities. Tools for Creating SOPs – Discussion of easy-to-use tools like Loom, Tango, Asana, and Google Docs to simplify the process. Continuous Improvement of SOPs – The idea that SOPs should be living documents that evolve with business needs, helping refine processes over time.

Send us a textHave you ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of “getting it right” when it comes to your spiritual life? Like you have to be perfect in your prayer life or Bible study to grow closer to God? In today's conversation, we're reminded that it's not about perfection—it's about consistency. Whether you're navigating busy mornings, a shifting season of life, or simply struggling to find time with the Lord, this episode offers practical encouragement to stay the course.In this engaging conversation, Kelly Minter and Angie Elkins dive into a rich exploration of the Book of Esther. Kelly unpacks its historical context within a pagan empire, noting the striking absence of God's name in the text—and yet, His presence is undeniable throughout Esther's story. She highlights Esther's journey from uncertainty to courage, drawing parallels to the challenges and opportunities facing women today. Kelly encourages us to recognize God's sovereignty in every situation, even in places where His name isn't spoken aloud, and reminds us that small steps of obedience can have a lasting impact on our faith journey.Consistency, courage, and small acts of faithfulness can lead to extraordinary growth.

Her story challenges the belief that we must “do it all” to be worthy.Key Takeaways from the Conversation:Achievement vs. Well-Being – Society glorifies overachievement, but constant striving can disconnect us from what truly matters.Recognizing the Disconnect – Many struggle because modern life ignores fundamental human needs like rest, social connection, and self-reflection.Small Steps to Change – Transformation isn't about drastic leaps but making intentional choices that align with personal values.Building a Support System – Community, spirituality, and creative outlets—like writing—help redefine purpose and fulfillment.Redefining Success – True success isn't about meeting external expectations but about creating a life that feels meaningful and sustainable.A New Path ForwardDr. Powers' journey illustrates that stepping away from the traditional definition of success can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life. By weaving in self-care, creativity, and connection, anyone can break free from the high achiever's trap.Want to hear more from Dr. Jenny Powers?Follow her work and explore her co-authored book, On the Origin of BeingInstagram: @ontheoriginofbeingTune into Lead with Levityfor this powerful conversation and start creating a life that truly aligns with you!Support the showDid you have any lightbulb moments while listening?

How do you measure something that is unmeasurable? How do you quantify something that can't be contained or counted? How do you assess something that is completely subjective? You might think you can't, but yet, that's what we attempt to do every day in our practice. We try to gauge our progress. We try to determine exactly when a piece is “finished.” Exact measurements aren't possible in music. We can't time our progress. “This piece will take exactly 37 days to learn to the degree of polish that I personally want.” If only we could have that degree of certainty, the whole practice thing would be so much easier. I realize I am guilty of perpetuating this unreality. I often use notional percentages to represent stages of “finish” for a piece. For instance, I'll call a piece 80% done if I can play most of the notes correctly most of the time at a tempo that's at least 80% of my goal tempo. It's hardly scientific, but it gives me and my students a way to judge where we are on our journey with a piece.  So what about you? Do you know where you are with that piece you're trying to finish? Are you at that 80% mark? If so, that's great, because you're almost there. By the way, I don't believe in 100%; perfection is not a practical goal. Instead, 90-95% is what I would call finished. If you're playing at Carnegie Hall, that's not good enough, but it should do for just about everywhere else.  Or maybe this is what you've experienced: you get your piece to 80% without much trouble, but then it gets stuck there. It just won't get over that last hump to the 90% mark. That hump - and how to get over it - is what I'd like to talk about with you today. I want to talk about the factors that contribute to progress and to growth, as well as how to find the way to close that gap between where your piece is now and where you want it to be. We can't exactly create “progress by the numbers,” but we can find the steps that will pull you out of the place you're stuck and move you forward.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Join our March Seminar Learn how to close the gap with my Finish It Course Harpmastery.com Get involved in the show!
