small things
This journal entry started with one letter, one letter holds little meaning, it became a word, with greater meaning, which in turn became part of a sentence with an even larger meaning. This sentence will become part of a larger paragraph, then a set of paragraphs that explore a larger concept or concepts. Everything in life is like that, made up of small things, small things that start with little meaning, and grow into larger things with greater meaning. It is the small things that create the greater things. It’s important not to lose track of that. It doesn’t matter which arena of life you are dealing with, the larger things are all composed of the smaller things, and it is the smaller things we do which creates the larger.
We live life one letter at a time, one breath at a time, one step at a time, one word at a time, one thought at a time, one choice at a time. Never discount the power in each letter/breath/step/word/thought/action… it all ‘counts’. Sometimes huge changes have happened in the world based on a pivotal choice.
It’s how I lost over a 100 lbs, one bite at a time, one small choice at a time, one meal at a time, one walk or gym visit at a time. Big changes are made up of small changes.
It’s the present that counts. You can’t change the past, you need to make the best choices you can in the ‘now’. Small choices, now choices. Do the best you can in the moment. That’s all there really is, you, the moment - now, and what you choose to do in it.
Live in Love
