Little things


Are in large part what we live with

Getting out of bed seeing the sun or rain outside, grey day or sunny day


Breakfast, walk, drive to work


And so the day goes on small thing after small thing


Day after small day


One after another


Slipping by, speeding by


Periods of our life slide by too


No longer a teenager, no longer twenties


Thirties sliding by too


And in all those thousands of minutes what stands out?


What in all that time stays with you?

Ask yourself the question in all my life what comes to mind?


In all my life what stays with me?

Try it


One of the things that will be there is something small


Maybe several of them


Your life was going to do so much


And in the end it comes down to several small things and maybe one or two large ones


A whole life is not really what you thought it would be


Just little things interspersed with one or two big ones


And that's it

Or did you see that you do not have to win competitions or win gold medals

Do not have to feel frustrated

Just live in the moment

Accept the process of life

Live life as process

Be the best you can every day growing your life experience

Allowing life to lead you and learning when to make your move

When to push and when to accept

Living life in balance is not so easy when all those little things keep getting out of balance

But then this is one of life's great skills to handle the little things in the right way

Living with those little things in a new way realizing that they are life

Enjoying the little things contributing where we may

Little things
