Often, we are tempted to think that we are not accomplishing anything significant in this routine life of ours. Sometimes we even devalue the ordinary things we do. But we should not. Everything we do has significance. Meaning and fulfillment in life do not come from doing the big things.
Life is lived in the small things and in the routine things.
It s not just the big things you do for the one you love that communicates the love you have. Its doing the little things consistently and faithfully that makes a big impression. And it s also doing them from the right attitude and for the right reasons. There is an old story from medieval days that recounts the story of a traveler who came upon stonemasons working on a building project. We ll enjoy our lives more if we put the process of living in proper perspective.
