The Little Things

I believe that the little things we deal with on a daily, or even hourly basis, can have more impact on our lives than many of the big things. For instance, there was an item in my medicine cabinet that I used every day, and it was stored behind something else. So, every day I had to move the other thing to get at the item I wanted. Now, this took only a moment, so it wasn’t important enough to do anything about it. But finally one day I decided to clean out the medicine cabinet and put the things I used most often in the front. And then I noticed what a big difference it made for me in the morning when I was getting ready for work! I think most of us have a bunch of these little annoying things in our lives, and each one is a minor inconvenience. But when you add them up, how much impact do they have on your daily life? Try paying attention, so you can identify the little things, and take a few minutes each day to fix one of them. In a week you’ll see a big difference in your daily life.
