Making it Happen

The real pleasure in life is in the 'small' things;
the things we most often fail to notice.
I have spent years wishing I could do more,
wishing I could achieve more.
And because I ignore those small successes
that come my away every time, those big dreams weren't just 'happening'.
But now I have realized that the real success
is not in those huge breaks that happen once in every lifetime,
but in those small achievements we make along the way.
Your life can be more meaningful
if you would just find joy and be grateful for
those 'little happiness' life throws your way every now and then.
When you appreciate and find joy in the little things,
your attitude towards life changes.
Happiness becomes a thing you achieve daily and
not once in a lifetime; and those big dreams,
becomes less big, less intimidating and easier to overcome.
If you are going to make those big dreams happen,
you must start by first paying attention to,
appreciating and finding strength in those little successes
life endows every one of us with, daily.

Words For Today

Depend upon yourself. Make your judgment trustworthy by trusting it.
You can develop good judgment
as you do the muscles of your body -
by judicious, daily exercise.

As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.
