Here is something I think the world gets wrong. We think the big events matter
most. The elections. The disasters. The dramatic moments that make the news.
But the small events? The daily choices? The quiet conversations? The
way you treat a cashier, handle a disappointment, or show up for a friend who
is struggling? Those seem insignificant. They are not.
They are the building blocks of a life. And they are exactly what your
children and grandchildren are watching.
They will not remember your opinions on the Economy. They will remember
whether you were kind when it was inconvenient.
They will not remember your advice about Money. They will remember
whether you seemed peaceful or panicked about your own.
They will not remember your lectures on honesty. They will remember
whether you told the truth when a small lie would have been easier.
You may not affect the outcomes of big events. None of us really can.
But by your actions, you can influence the people you Love as they face the
small events of life. And the small events, stacked one on top of another, are
what a life is made of.
