The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things.
Barbara Pym
What comes to mind are the little things that prepare us for life’s bigger hurdles.
When we achieve something monumental, it wasn’t just from one big push. It comes from the daily constants in the ordinary days that we persevered in.
It is the habits we’ve built, the little routines that kept us grounded, the past struggles that gradually strengthened us to be more resilient.
They are the parts of our everyday lives, however small, that prepare us for that ultimate moment, even if we can’t see them yet.
It reminded me that despite the frustration I’m feeling due to the many changes currently affecting my long-term goals, I have to persist in working towards them.
At the same time, it reminded me not to lose too much of myself looking at the future that I forget to appreciate the little moments in the present.
After all, it is the preparation that makes us who we are.
