The Little Things
“If you think the small things don’t matter, try spending the night is a room with a mosquito.”~The Dalai Lama.
In our fast paced lifestyle we are all moving 100 miles per hours. We forget to stop and take time for the little things. And if you stop long enough to think about it, it is the little things that make this life enjoyable. Actually it is probably the big things in your life that is causing all of the stress.
My five favorite things to do:
- Walk in the Sunshine
- Push my Daughter in a swing
- Listen to the silence at the summit of a mountain
- Planting, Watering, and Tending to the Garden
- Have a conversation about nothing in particular with an old friend or a new acquaintance
These are very simple things that I enjoy spending my time doing. They also are things that I had a hard time remembering to do when I was busy running the rat race. I hope you are finding the time for little things in your life.
My personal health and well-being has improved tenfold since I quit the race and started living in the moment. At some point you have to decide if you want to be a Human Being or a Human Doing.
