We often get caught in the trap of thinking that real change must be dramatic.

Imagine dropping a pebble into a still lake. That tiny stone doesn’t just sink; it creates ripples that spread far beyond the point of impact. The same is true in life. A kind word, a single dollar saved, a five-minute daily habit, or one vote cast – each may seem small, even trivial, in the moment. But over time, those small actions create change.

Think of:

• A daily 20-minute walk leading to a healthier heart.
• A weekly check-in text saving a friendship.
• One reusable bag used hundreds of times reducing waste.
• A few dollars invested early growing into thousands over years.

The magic is in the compound effect – the way small efforts add up exponentially.

Consistency beats intensity; what you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.

The next time you’re tempted to think, “What difference will it make?”, remember:

Simple acts create monumental results. Always.

This is week 47 of my coloring journey. It took me a long time to digitally color this page with Procreate. I think the results are OK.

If you have the Live Your Dreams Coloring Journal, and have already colored this page, I’d love to see how yours turned out! You can send a photo of it to me at Kim@KimMarieLiveYourDreams.com or tag me in your Facebook or Instagram post.  If you don’t already have the journal, and you’d like to join in the fun, you can get your copy from my online shop.
