think LITTLE!

A few years ago my dad gave me the best advice I ever got. I was busy trying to furnish my new house, and spent all of my time focused on the big things-- couches, TV’s, bookcases, appliances, etc. In the midst of everything, my dad said something to me that I will never forget, "Do you have a step stool? A tool kit? Extra light bulbs? It’s the little things that make a house." My dad’s words were more than just advice on home improvement. They were a metaphor for life. In life we tend to spend so much time worrying about the big things that we often forget how precious and important the little things are.

Lesson learned: The little things tend to be the things that matter most.
