The Little Things

I know this isn't any revolutionary concept or anything like that - but recently i've been thinking a lot about the little things, and how its the little things that make up who we are. i know "the whole is more than the sum of its parts" but i've also been thinking about how our character really is made up of lots of small seemingly insignificant decisions.



this whole line of thought started a couple weeks ago when i was visiting one of my friends. She recently lost some weight. we were talking about that process for her, and what it involved, and she pointed out that there was nothing huge that she did. it was a series of small decisions. little things....like eating rice-krispie treats for lunch instead of fudge rounds. small. seems insignificant...but let me tell you...those small decisions have resulted in big change.

I suppose the opposite is true too. people don't wake up one day and make a drastic horrible decision - rather, its those small seemingly insignificant decisions that lead them someplace they don't really want to be.

it makes me wonder about the small decisions - and what direction my life is moving in because of those decisions. Just a thought that's been rolling around in my head for the past couple weeks...thought i'd share it.
