Not so small...


Life isn’t about landmarks.  It isn’t about Point A and Point B.  It’s about the little things… the living, breathing, connective tissue that joins those big spaces in time and offers us a seemingly infinite number of tiny possibilities to choose…

To choose happiness over sadness, hope over despair, creativity over stagnation, or love over anger.  It is in those smallest of moments—when we are taken by surprise… when no one is looking… when the cameras aren’t rolling… behind the curtain… when we are immersed in the moment and not thinking about what comes next… or just watching a beautiful, little boy laugh as hard as he possibly can… it is upon these moments that our lives are built.  And, if we are really paying attention, we can learn such wonderful lessons about a life well-lived.

So, those little things… well, they aren’t really little at all.

  1. Beautifully written: "It is in those smallest of moments—when we are taken by surprise… when no one is looking…" Yes! Those are the things that keep us motivated and strong ad make "a life well-lived."
