If you are
worried about small things, be happy because you do not have bigger things to
worry about! Imagine if you had a lot of big problems in your personal life, at
your workplace or in your family, would you even care about how the dress you
wear at the party tonight matches with two other girls at the same party, or
how your living room curtains do not match with the sofa, how your spouse
doesn’t have time on weekends and keeps forgetting birthdays and anniversaries
or how there is less salt in dinner tonight? I don’t think so.
Isn’t it a
reason to be happy that you have the option to be upset at or particular about
smaller things in life because you don’t have to worry about bigger ones? Isn’t
it a big reason to smile that you have less reasons to frown about? As soon as
big things happen and bigger worries arrive in your life, you will get to know
how small things cease to matter all at once and are replaced by worries that
do not leave your mind free enough to think about small things at all. Now the
curtains, the school homework, the dress, the looks, the broken nails, the old
car, the laptop that is not working since last evening, the rain that wouldn’t
stop and keep you from reaching office in time or the friend who always keeps
you waiting for an hour before turning up for the movie, all these do not
matter as soon as a very loved one of yours has a disease to fight, you have a
low salary to fit up with the increasing expenses, the failure in career that
you have to handle, the new flat that you have to look for when you are asked
to leave your home, the job interviews that constantly keep telling you that
you do not fit their eligibility criteria, the failure to understand how to
deal with people and relationships, all those big things, all those extreme
situations that do not leave us the stamina to fight for very small things are
the ones that keep explaining to us that the smaller problems that we used to
think were too big weren’t actually real problems at all! And the small things
give us the chance to understand that we are lucky to have smaller things to
worry about rather than the bigger ones.
When we go
around the world and see how many people are lying around without any good
clothes, food or anything that is too common for us that we don’t even notice
their existence or even understand how important they are for the life we are
living. If we think of the problems the people on the road face, we can easily
compare our own problems with them and understand how small they are in
comparison with other people’s problems. And one is not even required to see
other people’s problems, just think about the bigger problems you have had to
face in your past yourself! Aren’t the little things you’re thinking as
problems now are way too smaller than those earlier ones to be even called
problems? Isn’t it easier to resolve things if we think of them as smaller
issues than we actually make them appear to ourselves? We always worry about
small things and that worry gives the smallest of things bigger shadows and
scare us just like a nightmare on a dark night! Why do we need to torture
ourselves by worrying about things that do not need that much of our attention?
Why do we make small things look like beg issues and make our life harder than
it actually is? Why do we not save all the energy, stamina, thoughts and ideas
for bigger things that may come up from nowhere when we are least expecting
them and all entangled in our pretty little problems!
It’s all in our
own control, how bigger we make a problem and how harder or easier we make our
life is all our own decision. We have a pretty short life and it is our own
decision whether we make it full of problems grudges and frowns or fill it with
lights, flowers, smiles and prosperity by letting small things be small and
leaving the bigger ones on their own in order to come on their own time and let
them teach you how to deal with them as they are and make you a better and
strong person. So leave things on their own to grow in their own time, at their
own pace, and do not let smaller things grow a shadow bigger than their
reality! Face thing just as they are and stop making things look bigger than
they are. And be happy that you are able to worry for smaller things and do not
still know what actual problems are. Be thankful to god and pray for these
smaller problems to always stay with you so that there is no place for the
bigger ones. Keep smiling, keep loving! Bonne journée!
