It's funny how in life we get caught up over little things - tripping over shoes, someone driving slow in front of us when we have no where to be, being a cloudy day instead of a sunny day. If only... we could remember what was important in life and think about those things instead! If only... we would realize no one will probably be able to tell you didn't brush your teeth before going to the super market, that our house is a mess when we are at church, no one cares if our car is over a decade old, and that we buy our clothes off the sale rack instead of paying full price. No one really cares about those things! We shouldn't sweat what no one will remember tomorrow! All we are doing is tripping our selves up over nothing - that effort could instead be used to plan out our day, or organize the closet that really does need to be cleaned out.
Taking a moment to prioritize my thoughts helps me for the whole day. Once I think about all I need to get done, worrying about something that will never happen seems pretty insignificant. And it goes to the bottom of my "to do" list. If you are like me, sometimes there are thoughts floating around in your head that have no right to be there. "I'm not worth it," "I'm too goofy for anyone to ever take me seriously enough to give me the kind of job I want," or my all time favorite, "It doesn't matter that I'm here, or that I'm not there." The truth is - Yes! you ARE worth it, goofiness is acceptable, and it does matter to those that care about you if you are around or not. Negative thoughts are only there to sabotage all the good things that we can do - so we must choose to think positive thoughts. Thoughts uplifting to our soul. Thoughts that will drive us in the right direction in life.
These little things may not seem like much, but the little things are what drag us down, day after day, after day. Little things gradually add up to big things, so it's important to take charge of them. If there has to be little things in your life, make them positive little things!
