       It's the Little Things

       One of my favorite phrases is "it's the little things that
       count" because there is nothing more true than that right there.
       Most people think that only major events in life are considered
       to be accomplishments when that isn't the case at all. Little
       things add up and eventually lead to big things. What a lot of
       people don't realize is that nothing big happens that didn't
       start off by smaller actions. I apologize for being really vague
       on my explanation here, but this phrase can be used in so many
       different situations! For example...
       Say you haven't checked your mailbox in two weeks. The mailman
       probably considers you annoying and you're probably going to be
       annoyed with yourself when you finally bring yourself to do
       this. You find yourself spending 5-10 minutes fighting with a
       mountain of paper and ads trying to get everything out without
       ripping something potentially important. You've finally managed
       to get your mail, your mailbox is clean and a whole other two
       weeks will pass before the mailman begins to roll his eyes when
       approaching your mailbox. So...let's say the next day it rains.
       You use this rainy day to catch up on household chores and
       general things you have fallen behind on around the house. The
       time comes to tackle that pile of mail that is over two weeks
       old and you are ready. As you're rummaging through a 60% grocery
       ad to 40% actual mail stack, you stumble across an overdue bill
       that you had no idea was overdue until this very moment. As you
       are walking to fetch your phone and pay this bill, you hear an
       odd noise out front so you poke your head out into the wet
       wilderness to see what's going on. You discover the noise is
       coming from your mailbox door flapping in the rain and wind
       because it has somehow come unlatched. Now...Imagine you didn't
       get the mail a day sooner? Guess what would be scattered all
       over the street, your neighbors lawn, your lawn and the disaster
       that would be. BE PROUD OF YOURSELF! It may have taken you two
       weeks to get the mail but you did take proactive steps in
       getting your mail and preventing a further delay on that overdue
       payment and a possible rain bath when cleaning up your wet,
       soggy mail. It's the little things guys! Remember that.
