Little things do matter. Sometimes, little things matter the most. Everybody pays a lot of attention to big things, but nobody seems to understand that big things are almost always made up of little things. When you ignore little things, they often turn into big things that have become a lot harder to handle.

Anger is a little thing. Hate is a little thing. Order is a little thing. Each of these little things has a major impact on the big picture.

Until we are each able to conquer and master the little things in our lives, the big things will remain undone.

I only tend to think of the week ahead, to keep my eye on the ball and question whether a full stop is in the right place. It's easy to get distracted by the wrong things.
