Masterful Mindsets ~ The Little Things Give Life Magic
“Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to accomplish something big, that we fail to notice the little things that give life it’s magic.”
I don’t know about you, but I think it’s pretty easy to take for granted how important the little things in life really are. I’m guilty of doing it at times and I’m betting you are too. Think about it…
How often do you take the time to acknowledge and appreciate the little things that bring magic to your life?
So many people think that if they could just make something big happen then their lives would be fulfilled. Whether that is getting a promotion, finding love or some other great destiny they have planned for their lives. Now don’t get me wrong, those big things are awesome! And having goals to create the life you desire is always good. But what happens all too often is we focus so much on those big things that we forget to acknowledge and be thankful for the little things.
Without the little things, we would not enjoy the big things near as much. And I believe that if you do want to make big things happen in your life, you must first pay attention to the little things. It really is the little things what make life magical.
Maybe for you a little thing is a call to or from a close friend, a wagging tail from your dog when you come home, paying for the order of the person behind you in the coffee shop, splurging on your own caramel latte to celebrate getting a nagging and not so fun task completed or a warm breeze blowing on your face to dry your tears after you’ve been let down. Whatever those small things are, they make a difference in your life and they are the things to focus on in order to give you the positive energy you need to move forward.
As the holidays are coming to an end and we prepare for the new year, it is a wonderful opportunity for us to be thankful for the little things in life that are important. Today, is especially a good day for me to do that as it’s my youngest daughter’s birthday. Not a little thing really because my two greatest blessings are my daughters. But it’s the little things about them and our times together that make life magical for me.
Before this year (which I know has been trying for many) ends, spend some time reflecting on your life, focus in on the little things that make it better or bearable. Have some fun making a list of those little things that make life magical for you. It is a great reminder of how important the little things truly are.
Be in gratitude as you write each one down. What are you thankful for? It may be as simply as finally figuring out Zoom so you can bring friends and family together; to a smile and a hug from your significant other that tells you they love you and everything is going to be okay. What’s important is that you take the time to be aware, acknowledge and show gratitude for the little things around you that make life worthwhile.
By practicing this, soon you’ll begin to become more mindful of the little things that make life magical. And odds are, you just might realize that all those little things are actually the big things…
