Tiny matters

Not all grand gestures change the world. In fact, not all grand gestures will change our individual worlds.

Most of the time, it’s the tiny little things that count.

A glass of water after a run. A smile given to that weary stranger. A warm bath after a stressful trip. The assurance of unconditional love and support. The first 1000 subscribers who believe in a new venture. The extra attention to detail from a colleague. A simple question that unlocks the most valuable insight.

Brief but kind words. Critical yet constructive feedback. An extra minute of undivided attention. The tiniest little footnote that changes the context. The decision to show up daily with care. The smallest contrast that differentiates this moment from the last.

The giggle of a child. The laughter of a friend. The cuddle from a lover. A crowded table at dinner. The love you choose to give, and the love you choose to receive.

Very small things can truly make a difference in our worlds and in the world.
