We tend to classify things and events in our life as big and small. We have a habit of giving an internal value to everything and accordingly our attention and time. And without realising it, we do the same with people and relationships.
When we learn to invert our estimation and change our perception, we change the quality of our life.
What we view as small, doesn’t usually get our full attention. And because we don’t deal with it well upfront, sometimes small issues grow into big challenges. How often have we reflected back on something and wished we had taken care of it in the beginning when it was small. When we make every action big, doing it with full awareness, paying attention to all details, we save ourselves from much potential trouble.
In our success we tend to get egoistic and disregard someone else’s achievement as small and insignificant. Not only do we feed our ego, we blind ourselves from appreciating someone’s efforts which under the circumstances may be stupendous. But when we make every relationship big, we learn to respect every effort and find joy in the joy of others.
And when we view our achievements as big, it is our arrogance deluding us and we forget there are several who have played a part in our success. When we learn to give credit to others, we realise the small role we have played in what the world sees as a big achievement. We view our achievements with gratitude and humility.
And when problems and challenges seem unsurmountable, we have forgotten our inner strength and lost our faith. Rediscovering that, helps us deal with life, one day at a time, one small change at a time and before we know it, the huge issue has become so small, it no longer bothers us.
When we have developed this attitude and find we are able to sail through the same choppy waters many are struggling in, we will realise our own secret. We have learnt to make Small things Big, and Big things Small.
