Day 349 of wisdom
“It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.”
Phillips Brooks
For every big picture there was first a brush stroke, every great achievement started from a small piece of action, every big person grew from a baby. Wherever a man wants to get to, he must first start from somewhere, he must begin by doing the small things, by climbing from the first rung of the ladder, and going up to the zenith. Without the humble, small, and almost inconsequential beginnings there will hardly be any great accomplishments by humans, it would have been impossible for man to get to heights dreamed of.
Sometimes, you are not so sure of the purpose for which you are where you are today, you may ponder and wonder if you are actually on track, but one thing is sure, there is a reason for where you are now, and you can fulfil that purpose only if you do what is necessary for your current state. Life is in stages, one stage requires a particular version of you, the next stage will demand of you a better version of yourself, and the higher you go in stages, the better you become and the clearer you see what is ahead of you.
Live each day at a time, never look away from the little things, they make up the big things. Everything that is today big is a constellation of little things done over time. As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would say, "It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important." Without the little things, there cannot be the great, mighty, and big things. Greatness is not the achievement of great things at once, it is being great in the execution and doing of little things.
Most of the great men of our days and days gone by were men who were busy doing little things in their little corner, it is while being busy in performing these little tasks they discovered the bigger tasks they were eventually known for. Your current position may be small, your responsibilities may be little, but keep at it wholeheartedly. It is on the line of duty at the little tasks of life that that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you. Keep pushing in the little, the whole will surely and soon be revealed.
