Why the Small Things You Do Matter More Than You Think
Have you ever heard the phrase, “How you do anything is how you do everything”?
At first, it sounds like just another catchy quote—until you realize how deeply it applies to real life. It’s a reminder that how we show up in the small, ordinary moments says a lot about who we’re becoming.
Because here’s the truth:
The little things do matter.
The way you speak to your family in the rush of the morning.
The care you take in following through on a commitment.
The attitude you carry while doing the dishes or replying to emails.
It all tells a bigger story.
And that story? It’s not just about tasks—it’s about your character, your integrity, and your alignment with the life you say you want to live.
The Everyday Is Sacred
Let every ordinary moment become an offering
In Romans 12:1 (MSG), we’re reminded to “take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.”
That means the way we do laundry, lead a meeting, prep meals for our family, or show up for our dreams matters.
Not because perfection is the goal, but because excellence in the small things cultivates the capacity to steward the big things.
Why This Matters for the Life You’re Creating
Your daily habits are shaping your legacy
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re a dreamer—a woman pursuing a life of purpose, faith, and intentionality.
But it’s so easy to compartmentalize.
We say things like,
“This is just a busy season,” or
“This area doesn’t really affect the rest.”
But the truth is: how you show up in the hidden, quiet moments is often the clearest reflection of who you’re becoming.
- If you rush through the small things, you may find yourself scattered when big opportunities come.
- If you show up with excellence, even when no one is watching, you’re building the foundation for influence that can be trusted.
Three Ways to Practice This Principle
Simple shifts that lead to deeper alignment
1. Choose Integrity in the Small Moments
Keep the promises you make to yourself. Follow through, even when no one else will know. These quiet commitments build confidence—and create internal alignment with your values.
2. Slow Down & See the Beauty in the Ordinary
Whether you’re making school lunches or writing your next book, bring your full heart. Worship doesn’t just happen in a sanctuary—it happens when we do life with purpose and intention.
3. Use the iBloom Planner to Align Your Actions with Your Vision
It’s not just about writing down your goals—it’s about choosing habits that align with them. Ask yourself: Am I showing up today like the woman I want to become?
Let your planner become your accountability partner in closing the gap between your intentions and your actions.
For example, if your goal is to be more present with your family, maybe one habit you add is “Put my phone away from 5–7 p.m.”
If you’re building a business, it might be “Connect with one potential client or lead each day.”
Tiny steps. Big impact.
Pause & Reflect
Take a few moments today to check in with your heart:
- What’s one area of your life where you’ve been showing up halfway?
- How might bringing more excellence, grace, or intentionality into that area shift everything else?
- What small habit could you begin today that reflects the person you’re becoming?
Because how you do that one thing might just be the key to unlocking the everything you’ve been praying for.
