Melting Snow

Someone once said, "That if you took care of the little things then the big things would take care of themselves." I don't know if that true in all situations, but I do know that it's true the majority of the time. Happiness is achieved incrementally, one small joy at a time. Big successes is achieved through small planning steps that moves a project forward when each person on the team does the little things one at a time. A novel is completed one chapter at a time. A chapter is completed one word at a time. When the little things are accomplished then the whole is greater then the sum of its parts.

I don't think living is anything like touring a museum. I think its more like fighting a dragon with a fire extinguisher. Sure the chemicals in the fire extinguisher will put out your hair when the dragon's breath ignites it, but in order to put the dragon's fire out completely you have to ram that extinguisher down the dragon's throat. This means you have to willingly get into the dragon's mouth.
