Bits Of Life

Enjoy the little things.

One of the rules that you would know if you guys have watched Zombieland (or the trailer). I've always been a believer of the little things. The ignored , so called useless and insignificant formalities in life. People tend to look at the bigger picture all the time. Where have they stopped and looked around them and enjoy these little stuff ?

The reason I emphasize so much on them is the fact that they play a huge part in our lives ( at least it does in my life ). These little things in life make or break you. It's true for me.

24 hours a day in your life. How much time have you taken of your busy schedule of pursuing fame and fortune to spend quality time with your family ? How frequent have you actually sit down and have nice deep talks with your family members ? If that picture is still too big , lets' scale it down somemore. Many things that happen everyday in our life as a family but we simply do not realize it. When your mom or dad cooks for a meal for you , have you ever wondered why they do that and how are they actually feeling ? What we care is the taste of the food and we make piercing comments about it. Do we actually know the figurative meaning behind it ? When they cook for you or they nag about the same old thing everyday , it's a way of saying I love you to you. These things go unnoticed as it is so common...

An athlete would like the best sports equipment he could get to maximise his performance. He would like the best tracksuit and best shoes. But for me , at the end of the day it is still the training and match day mentality that matters. Many of them tend to think that if they miss a day of training it's fine but it actually affects your overall performance. Being not well prepared moments right before a competition is the worst thing you can do. In short , never take anything for granted and be complacent.

In a relationship ( common not love ) , simple acts you do everyday may just be the deciding factor in the happiness of a relationship. Simple " please " and " thank you " are the magic words you should be able to spurt out to everyone. Doesn't sound extremely effective as a a good way to earn your friends trust compared to buying them luxurious stuff isn't it ? xp But in the long run , you might just make more friends than foes. Communication is vitally important. It's more than remembering anniversaries and birthday. It's making them feel special even though it's just an ordinary day.

This Christmas , look back and reminisce at this whole year. What have you brought to people around you ? What have you brought to yourself ? Sometimes , identifying and appreciating those little happenings in life might just be the solution to solving the puzzle to form that bigger picture. Engaging in the process of forming the bigger picture is more important than jumping straight to that picture itself.

Have a blessed Christmas. =)
