Happiness is often in the little things

The little things in life aren’t really little. They become
the cornerstone of our days and they create the life we live. They gradually
paint the masterpiece that is life, yet we mistakenly believe that only the big
things make a profound difference. Let this be your happy challenge today: be
mindful of the smaller details of your moments.

Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from
little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things. Bruce
Burton

Regard the Little Things

It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are
infinitely the most important.Arthur Conan Doyle

Open your eyes to the details, and relish in what you see.
Find beauty in the forgotten path.Enjoy
the little things
that are happening around you, because it not how
much we have, but how much we enjoy that makes happiness.

Celebrate the small victories and cherish the seemingly
insignificant moments, for you’ll one day realize these were the big moments.
Appreciate the small things because they add up to everything.

Delight in the little things.Rudyard Kipling

Through mindfulness of the little things, we can settle into
the present, viewing ordinary things and mundane moments with much more
curiosity, interest, and awe.

By rediscovering your childlike wonder and a sensation
of awe, you may feel like you have more time available to you, and that
life is more satisfying. You may find that you are less impatient, less
concerned with material items, and more focused on your experiences,
particularly your present moment experience.

Think about and watch for the everyday moments that you
would like to remember. What kind of words are you using? What actions would
you commit today that you could look back on, lovingly? What small things can
you do today that you will be thankful for tomorrow?

As John Wooden said, It the little details that are
vital. Little things make big things happen.

Do Small Things with Love

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word,
a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of
which have the potential to turn a life around.Leo Buscaglia

You don’t have to do something momentous or monumental to
change the world. You can begin one step at a time to transform the smallest
areas of your life, or the life of someone else. As the saying goes,
Friendship isn’t a big thing. It’s a million little things.

Small things matter small acts of kindness, moments of
compassion, selfless giving, half-steps in the right direction and when we
do them mindfully, purposefully, and with love, we can make a big difference.

The little things are feathers in the wings on which love flies.
Isaac Fowler

We often think that we need the big, difficult steps to make
the change happen, but that’s not true. It’s the little steps we take
that bring in the energy of change. No matter how small, start something
that matters. You can start anything

Thinking supportive
thoughts.
Anything that has ever been manifested in this world always
began as a thought, an idea.

Cultivating strong
relationships.
Connecting to others in meaningful ways in a loving
spirit has the power to transform everything in your life.

Getting clearon
what you want and on how you want to be doing it.

Following your heart,
your dreams, your happiness, or your own inner wisdom.

Expressing yourselfand being yourself.

Letting go of
what’s no longer supporting your peace and happiness.

Truly caringabout
how you show up in the world each day and making a commitment to living as many
moments as possible with presence, gratitude, and awe.

Remarkable amounts of anything starts with one
small step, and each small step creates momentum towards the life you
love.The possibilities that once were invisible become visible. The
things that once seemed impossible become possible. It all begins with that
first, tiny step in the direction of your happiness.

Collect Moments

When it comes down to it, it really is the little things that count
most. Robert Cheeke

Reflect on and grow your awareness of the good moments in
your day. Focus on the positive experiences and try to approach the
seemingly less-than-ideal moments with some self-compassion. When you give
daily attention to the good things happening around you, it’ll be reflected in
the quality of your life.

A good life is a collection of happy moments. Denis Waitley

Life happens moment by moment, always right now. There are
small opportunities each day brings, and they are brought in moments. Miracles
happen in moments. Value these moments in your life and vow to fully show
up for them today.

Vow to see the detail, beauty, character, and harmony that
here at all times.

Redefine what extraordinary should describe today The
ordinary is somehow the most extraordinary. It’s the part of our world where
beauty is interlaced into each detail, woven into the next moment. Vow to see
everything, and everything becomes beautiful. Everything becomes extraordinary

What small moments
will you savor today?

What small things can
you do to help yourself or someone else?

What little things,
now looking back, mean everything to you?

they can enjoy, appreciate, and love right now.

It was the million tiny little things that, when I added
them all up, meant everything to me.

With love,
