Building Purpose in Little Bits – 5 Ways to Live Big Dreams
You don’t leap once and reach your BIG DREAMS.
You build purpose in little bits—one intentional action, one faithful choice, one tiny shift at a time.
In a world screaming for shortcuts, overnight success, and one-click wins, little bits feel slow. But they work.
Little bits are how you:
- Build a strong foundation.
- Craft a structure that can weather storms.
- Make real, sustainable progress.
The Myth of the Leap
When I was in grade school, I went to a sleepover where we thought it would be fun to jump down the stairs one step at a time. My competitive nature kicked in and I jumped the entire flight.
I twisted my ankle. I won the game. And I had to use crutches for weeks.
Spoiler: not worth it.
Too often, that’s how we approach our purpose journey. We try to skip steps. Leap ahead. Hustle hard. But when we leap too fast, we can end up:
- Burned out
- Discouraged
- On the sideline with crutches
Little bits aren’t slower – there are methodical, purposeful, and intentional building blocks that stack up to create your defined success.

BIG DREAMS
are built
in
little bits.
– Kathryn Lang
Little Bits, Big Impact
No matter what they tell you:
- There is no overnight success
- There are no magic beans
- There is no shortcut to your unique design.
When you lean into who you are designed to be and gather up the little bits to build that BIG DREAM then you will create the abundant life you are called to live.
5 Ways to Use Little Bits Every Day
1. Mini Movement Breaks
- Dance to one song
- Walk a lap around your house or office
- Use commercial breaks for cardio
2. Tiny Time Blocks
- Break your day into 15-, 10-, 5-, or even 1-minute task blocks
- Have go-to quick wins (like wiping counters or sending a thank-you note)
3. Bite-Sized Tasks
- Break big projects into micro-tasks
- Stack the small steps and celebrate progress
4. Still, Small Faith Encounters
- One prayer card
- One Scripture verse
- One whispered prayer in the car line
5. Micro Meditation Moments
- Walk barefoot in the grass for five minutes
- Practice breathing squares (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 8)
- Write one gratitude in your journal
Why Little Bits Matter
They move you forward.
They keep you from getting overwhelmed.
They help you build your BIG DREAMS while still living your everyday life.
From the YouTube Short:
“Despite what they tell you—that you need to rush, that you need it all now, that if you snooze you lose—the truth is: it’s little bits, consistently, in purpose, that bring your BIG DREAMS to life.”
From the Podcast:
“It’s not all or nothing. It’s not leap and land. It’s one intentional, on-purpose little bit at a time. That’s how you get there.”
