Little Things, Big Things

Sometimes it is so easy to be caught up in trying to do big things, aiming to gain more and surpassing targets. The best example of this is the motto of the Olympics, Citius, Altius, Fortius , which is Latin for "Faster, Higher, Stronger". We want to be faster still, higher even more and stronger than ever.

Along the way in aiming to be faster, higher and stronger in different fields of our lives, we forget to live. There is really nothing wrong with dreaming big, we should, but not at the expense of our life and others lives. The worst tragedy is to wake up one day realizing you are already old and hasn’t enjoyed life at all. So, while aiming high and dreaming big we should never lose sight of the little things. Little things are surprisingly beautiful and life giving. The little things we brush aside because we think we have more important matters attend to, only to realize that the little things are in fact the important things. Little things as visiting friends and family, cheering and caring someone, spending a lazy afternoon with love ones. All these and more cannot be compensated with anything in the world.

What is important to you? Look around there are little things we chose to ignore. It’s never to late to recognize it.
