Small & Large.

Too often we hear it said that it's the little things that matter. The compassionate thought, the random act of kindness, the friendly smile.. They always tend to make a world of difference. But how can you recognize the little things while keeping your eyes on the bigger picture?

We walk around continuously forming thoughts and opinions about the world around us. We're baffled by the mysterious tiny incidents that impact our live in ways we never imagined possible. We dwell on the small occurences that suddenly seem to change the world. We never forget the strangers that left an everlasting mark. The little random things.. They leave us in awe.

And to wrap it all up in a perfect bundle, there's that bigger picture- the view from above, from outside the box that we tend to linger in too often. It's one of those gifts that a person can only truly appreciate when they realize its full potential. It's Perspective within your grasp.

So how do you seek that balance? How do you walk with the small in one hand and the large in the other without falling over? How can you give the little things the attention they deserve while not losing sight of the bigger picture??

Ramadan Kareem to you all.
و كل عام و أنتم بخير

Savvy Doc.
