Big things get a lot of attention in our world. Society makes a point to recognize and celebrate things that stand out, such as:

• The highest mountains
• The tallest trees
• The biggest buildings
• The largest ships
• Super-sized foods
• The biggest athletes
• The richest people
• The largest homes

Meanwhile, when prompted to look closely at what brings them personal satisfaction and a life of meaning and purpose, many people list the often-overlooked “little things” that bring them smiles and fill their hearts.

EXERCISE:

If you, too, see the “little things” as big things in your life, consider generating a list of 20, 50, or even 100 “little things” that mean a lot to you.
