The Little Things...

"When I left, I didn't think I was making a choice. But it turned out I was." - Kim Edwards, The Memory Keeper's Daughter

The little things matter. Sometimes even more than the big things.

We all want to do important things, to do things that matter in the world. Sometimes we forget about the little things, but I am a true believer that it is the little things that define who we are. The decisions and choices we make - especially those which we keep to ourselves, are those that define who we are. And maybe we even rationalize to try to convince ourselves that our decision is right, with evidence and proof, so that we can feel better and try to find peace with our decision. And these are the decisions that start to shape our lives, and define our character and true self. These decision affect the people around you, whether it be with the best of intentions, or not. These decisions bind people to one another.

It's easier to make good decisions when you are in a position of comfort. But to able to make fair and just decisions in the face of adversity takes real courage and strength.
