The Search 4 Happiness

Day 293 - Little Things

2/12/20241 min read

It's the little things in life that I think contribute the most to our lives. Every day, we make various fluent decisions, sometimes without even processing them simply because they are routine tasks. Within these various decisions, we complete ongoing tasks that accumulate into success, evolution, discipline, connection, and numerous other factors in our lives.

Getting out of bed on time, eating healthy, showing up for work with a smile on your face, getting that workout in, reading that book, making that phone call to an old friend, holding the door open for a stranger. Little bits and pieces of everyday life that may seem trivial to even consider their contribution to our lives, yet have the potential to create compound interest of success, and subsequent overall output towards our progress.

Sometimes I’ll have days where I don’t feel like anything goes right, and I feel lost and stagnant. Sometimes I have days that I feel like everything goes right, I feel progress, and movement towards improvement. Both of these days could, from a surface level, seem like nothing significant had happened at all; they could just be stock standard days. However, the common denominator between both, for me, is the accumulation of small successes. Little moments in which I chose to do the right thing, little moments in which I chose the harder path by default, little moments in which I searched for opportunities to contribute, or I didn't.

The small decisions around little things that seem insignificant are actually the most important. They provide momentum and direction. They provide opportunities to win and sway the universal energy in our favour. They allow us to progress, develop, and create supporting evidence to ourselves that we have what it takes to be more. That we have what it takes to be someone or something. That we have what it takes to succeed on the search for happiness.

Little things create the foundation for big things to transpire.

Thanks,
