Good Need Not Be Great

My brother has a good habit. Specifically, he always does at least one push up per day. Granted, one push up isn't much, but that's kind of the point. The goal is easy enough that he can consistently do it, and he often does a few more push ups while he's at it, just because he can. Naturally, it's still not very many, but it's better than none. Good acts don't need to be great ones. They don't need to be big, grand affairs. Any amount of good is good. And when a small amount of good leads to slightly more good, all the better. Over time, those small good habits can lead to great results. My brother is gaining a small amount of arm strength, but he's also gaining confidence, self-discipline, and satisfaction, and I think that's great.

Good acts do not need to be Great in order to be good, because good acts, even small ones, can have great results.
