#FromTheCommunity: Take Small Steps To Go A Long Way
Weekend is just a few hours away and I am sure you must be planning to make the most of it, with what not on your to-do list.
Do you ever feel, we expend our lives with this robotic speed? Day in and day out, mechanically, going with the flow of life. Why not spare a thought for all the random moments of learning and small achievements. It might seem unimportant to you now, but there’s no need to fret, these isolated incidents add to a bigger and brighter tomorrow.
This time we bring you the power of “Just drops!” #FromTheCommunity, where one of our users shared a beautiful anecdote. How small and consistent stream of efforts add up to form a huge chunk.
Following a night, when Munira didn’t bother to turn off her faucet and slow, steady succession of water drops filled her empty bucket. Pleasantly surprised, she rhetorically questioned herself, “Just drops?!”
That is when it struck her, the importance of a drop! A drop of love, a drop of kindness, a drop of hard work, also smart work, a drop of pleasure, leisure, and many more such drops. Imagine the pool of plenty that you would gather.
To reach your full potential, start investing in yourself on a daily basis
Applied to practical living, one can take cognizance of the fact that stealing some time, to hone your skills, or practicing recreational activities for developing your personality or any other such tasks, will be rewarding in the long run.
I remember being advised by my parents, to save whatever change of money I could get my hands on, in my piggy bank. By the end of the year, my pink piggy used to clink with lots of coins. I exchanged that money for my choice of treats. Now, I get the idea was to make me understand the importance of building bit by bit, for a wholesome future.
Just as you cannot expect to excel in your exams, when you’ve glanced through your books, a day before. You might pass, but to achieve top grades, you have to be consistent with your studies.
A slice of life, a drop of zest and a dash of hope, put together makes up for a life worth living. Share with us your “Just drops” life incidents.
We leave you with this beautiful poem by Julia Carney titled ‘Little Things’
Little Things
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
So the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of Eternity.
So the little errors
Lead the soul away
From the paths of virtue
Far in sin to stray.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Help to make earth happy
Like the Heaven above.
----Julia Carney
