Mine the pleasure from the little things and watch the big things come. I said this to a friend last week. She felt stagnant. She felt like she was not reaching her purpose in life quickly enough. She felt disheartened. She was depressed. I bit my lower lip because I was ready to forcefully remind her all the good things that have been happening in her life, of the blessings that she did not expect, of the broad smiles from the Universe, and she was sitting bitching away on this one thing that had not manifested for her as yet.
She eye-rolled me. “You and your crock,” was her added response to my simple bit of advice. “I am not in the mood for any hocus-focus.”
Well, my friend is going to be feeling this way for a while.
I thought to myself, how often we are so busy looking for the big thing that we miss the pleasures that can be had from the little thing? And I am starting tiny here.
The car that stopped to let you cross the street.
The co-worker who gave you an extra broad smile with his morning greeting.
The taste of the cinnamon spice in your coffee.
The honeyed pleasure of your morning tea.
The wave of the butterfly as it passed by.
The seeing the puddle at the last minute.
I can go on and on talking about the little things that can bring us pleasure in our daily lives.
The pleasures we tend to ignore as being unimportant because they are not grand enough.
“Mine the pleasures from the little things and watch the big things come”.
