The Little Things


There she was, walking down the street, looking classy and sassy with her classic fedora hat look..i stood and stared with great admiration and appreciation..what do say or do with you are face to face with the person(s) you greatly admire, do you get overly excited and act a fool? We sometimes are engaged in the presence of greatness either intentionally, sporadically, or unexpectedly. What do we take from the encounters of life and people, do you stare in awe and wish that it were you? Its hard not to get caught up in the moment of anything and anywhere but its what you take from and how to incorporate it into your life and on journey. I try to immerse in the great moments of life and take in all the little things that led me to these pinnacle points, for its the roads that we forget about. When things get shaky, don't be in such a hurry to resolve the dilemma without precautions..you need repair the little cracks of the foundation so the same problem doesnt reoccur. Its the little things that we easily seems to miss cause we are in such a hurry to do this and that, to go here and there, and we lose sight of whats clear.

Its the little things that i've come to appreciate even more than all the shines and shimers. Its the sunday morning/afternoon drives along the coast, its the sunny days with a gentle cool breeze, its assessibility of downloading all and any my favorite music albums, its the giggling and laughing from my little cousins in the early morning trying to wake me up to play with them, its the food that my grandma leaves out for me when i home late, its the thursday night at starbucks with great company and conversation, its the waking up early everyday just for the hell of it. All these things and so much more are all but little significance to me and my journey.

So a word not from the wise but from the an empirical person, wake on a monday morning and take a minute to consider how you want the day or week to go, not how you think its going go. Give yourself a minute to comprehend that you're living the week, and the we(a)k doesn't run you. No matter how stressed you might think that week will be, know that you're the one in control and not the objectives at hand..when you are feeling overwhelmed or ahead yourself, literally take a step back and break down the little things that are cause the problem and fix it. Don't ignore it because its still going to be there the next day until it gets resolved. Daily growing takes watering, nurturing, and sometimes just flat out subtlety.
