Life is a series of small moments. It's only a few times in everyone's life that big events occur. If we only look forward to those moments we will miss the best parts of life. Missing out life is easy if we can't shift our focus towards the small moments. You may hear of, happiness is not a destination, it's the journey. And if we can't enjoy the ride, we will miss the enjoyment for sure.
These seemingly small or insignificant points in our lives do matter. In fact, I think those matter more than our great achievements in our life. They are not as small as we think. Those moments creates a great feeling of happiness in our brain more than the big events. Also, I think those small moments can change our life. Like if we do want to change something for our improvement, we can start with a little. If we feel sad because we are struggling or not getting as per our desire; we can focus on those small senses of happiness.
Finding small happiness is easy than achieving any big goal. Like if you feel happy by doing gardening, do it. Maybe, those little things would not add any productivity but those things matter.
I think if we can practice mindfulness it becomes a lot easier to focus on the little things in life. It helps to focus what's happening around us and thus can help us to feel our surroundings more. It's not always easy to focus on small moments of life, especially when we depressed about life. But we need to practice that to make it happen.
Not everyone can appreciate what life gives us. Not everyone can cherish small happiness in life. But if we can do, we can live our life fullest!
