Do Small Stuff Matter?

Do Small Stuff Matter?  Probably NOT to the members of the billionaire's club.  Probably NOT to those business behemoths.  And probably NOT for someone seated on that exalted C-suite job role.  BUT dude, you got it all wrong in that case because the small things in life are much more important than those BIG things.  So, WHAT makes your day special to you?  WHEN you hit the sack at night, do you find yourself grinning WHEN you reflect on anything that happened during the day?  It may seem insignificant.  YET, that is where the beauty lies📗📙📘

Thing is, as we work on our goals and dreams, most of us [YES, I'm guilty of that many times in the past!] do focus on taking and making those big, huge strides.  Getting that fat big paycheck instead of a paltry small amount.  Almost every time we only consider BIG things as an achievement and the SMALL things AREN'T that an achievement.  WHAT explains that convoluted thinking?  YES, it is much easier to see the progress OR see the effect of something if it is that BIG💚💛💜

Very true, we WON'T notice those SMALL waves as often we notice BIG waves on the beach.  If that is so, WHY are SMALL things important too?  It is that imperative to appreciate the SMALL things OR SMALL waves as well because that would allow us even life from a different perspective.  We would NOT be overwhelmed.  We would be able to 'break' down BIG tasks and celebrate the SMALL wins.  Taking the time to appreciate the SMALL things is indeed rare these days.  NOT everyone focuses on the LITTLE details OR SMALL things.  It is also one of the reasons WHY we give up easily on the process.  We forget that we are learning OR progressing along the way✅✅✅

One thing that is quite often overlooked is the obvious fact that even SMALL things can be achievements by itself.  I am NOT one to beat my chest BUT looking back WHEN I was an entry-level I.T. systems engineer, there I was, sprawled on the floor, soldering hundreds of coaxial cables to ensure that those terminal end-points are firmly attached and WON'T loosen at all.  At hindsight, if I DIDN'T drive myself into those SMALL stuff, there is a palpable chance that I may NOT have progressed in my career.  And YES, I can cite tons and tons of SMALL stuff which I humbly achieved.  And without those SMALL stuff, I CAN'T surmise HOW or WHERE I could be right now😔😔😔

Our takeaway:  Think about it.  For the sake of argument, let us conservatively assume that you are NOT that kind of a BIG achiever.  As such, you end up with SMALL stuffs achieved from time to time.  Over time, those SMALL stuffs would have piled up.  Seriously.  And once they have all piled up, do ask yourself.  Could you have get to those piled up SMALL stuffs if you DIDN'T achieve multiple times in the past?  Let's NOT look far.  Even walking across streets, I see long winded queues of LOTTO bettors.  NOT to bad-mouth those bettors because they are betting on their hard-earned monies but most of them, if NOT all, are so enamored hitting the LOTTO JACKPOT.  Sadly, I can bet my whole salary, 99.999999% of them have NOT hit that jackpot yet.  So, DO SMALL STUFF MATTER?  YES dude, it matters a hell lot❗❗❗
