In reality it’s the little things that actually matter in life

So generally what I have noticed is that we give importance to

bigger things in life rather than the smaller or trivial ones,

now one I might say that that’s a perfect approach towards life

and there is nothing wrong with it. But I for one feel that’s not

how it actually works, we say that you know the bigger the

thing more the important it is but honestly, it’s the other way

round because if we actually think about it we’ll realize that

we cannot control the major events in our life. So if we can’t

do anything about it then why does it hold so much of

importance in our lives. Now at the same time if we think

about the little things in our daily life, that’s something which

is completely in our hands like what's our attitude towards

other people or how we conduct ourselves on a daily basis so

we can easily control all these things but in practice this takes

a backseat and we being the overthinkers that we are thinking

about the future or the consequences of our actions but how

can we do that when do that when we don’t pay attention to

the tiniest of the details.

Now what you read next just give it a thought. Let’s say you

won a competition or something of that sort now would you

rather have someone get you something or hear them say

something like, ‘I am so proud of you, I knew you could do

it’’. So something like this is all about perspective but I’d

rather have someone say those words than get me something

materialistic because I for know that what it feels like when I

have had a long and tiring day and someone asks me

something like, “How was your day” or “Did you eat

something” because it is always good to know that there is

someone who genuinely cares for you. I guess none of us

needs a proper welcome when they come home after a long day

we’d just want to hear these two lines from someone and

that’d be good enough. And as far as the bigger things are

concerned then we should always remember one thing that

life is as only complicated as we make it or else its quite

simple, but now when I say that I am not referring to every

person in this world because they do have their set of

complicated problems but I think we are quite lucky to look at

life this way so why can’t we just let the bigger things go

and focus on the smaller ones.
