The Little Things of Life

The world that we have to know since birth starts very little and grows into something big. We live each with the experience of the past and a vision of the future whiles putting less value on the importance of the seconds, minutes, hours and days of our lives. Sometimes we live as if days are all we have but those days are made of the little things that combine to become the weeks, months and years that we have become so used to.

It is incredible to realize that we seem to be forgetting that each day is overflowing with possibilities that we can use to make a difference and affect the human system in general positively. Many of those opportunities may seem tiny and of no consequence, yet we have no way of knowing where they can lead. If all the people we know started various theories and principles had known that their simple thoughts would lead to the tremendous influences that they have had on our world, I believe they would have worked extra harder to at least achieve their aim and experience the results before they will live this earth.

A large amount of the ideas that are making breakthroughs in the modern, started as very small projects that seemed insignificant for most especially those who did not see the future of those things. These disguised small opportunities were nurtured and gradually took their time to grow into big businesses and organizations.

Let us take a second look at all the little things around us. We do not necessarily have to see its future from the word go. Let us be humble enough to be willing to take care of the little things, and our efficiency at doing so will put us in a situation where we can influence the big things. Let us find out how we can make just a modest, average, optimistic input and we will be well on our way to big, extraordinary achievements.

We should learn to let go of the assumption that our time is too valuable for us to be bothered with the little things. Let us take a moment to remember how it took us to start crawling before we learned to walk and jump. It was each step at a time. Not all steps at a time. Indeed the little things that we mostly neglect can make the difference between success and failure with every opportunity that we are given.

It is easy for people to sideline big visions and ideas that we might have with the excuse that it is impossible. Let us just hang in there and hold on to our biggest, most ambitious vision we can ever imagine. And be willing to get our hands dirty doing the little things that will make the big dream happen.
