Mind The Small Things
They add up to become the fabric of your life
When my race is run and I can look back and see my life clearly, I’m sure it will be the small moments that mattered most — small choices, small decisions:
- A kind word instead of criticism
- Patience instead of irritation
- Action instead of inaction
- Inaction instead of action
- Listening instead of talking
- Left instead of right
- Right instead of wrong
- Generosity instead of greed
- A mindset of abundance instead of scarcity
- Kindness instead of cruelty
- Hope instead of fear
The sum of these small choices will be my life’s legacy, and that realization is sobering.
If I could ask for just one superpower today, it would be for discernment: the ability to see clearly which of any choice at any given time is the path of love.
