“Don’t sweat the small stuff” a saying that we have all heard before. “The Devil is in the Details” another saying that we have all heard before. Both of these quotes are widely recognized, however they completely disregard the other. Are the details important or aren’t they? Are we supposed to hold every person in the world accountable to our standard and our schedule every single day? 

 

In an overlapping world of small details it is important to see how each of them fits into the big picture. The ones that matter and move us closer to our bigger goals in our work, hobbies and relationships. Being able to distinguish which details matter begins with distinguishing what our why is. 

When we are able to see the bigger purpose and the ways that the big picture is dependent upon certain small things we become excited about them. It is a repetitive action to remind ourselves of the big picture, our motivation or our loves. These are the vehicles that allows us to dive deeper or decide to let go of the little things.
