When Trying to Be Helpful, Focus on Little Things


"Mother Teresa once said, "We cannot do great things on this earth. We can only do little things with great love". Sometimes, our grandiose plans to do great things at some later time interfere with our chances to do little things right now. A friend once tole me, "I want my life to be about service, but I can't do anything get. Someday, when I'm really successful, I'll do lots of things for others". Meanwhile, there are hungry people in the streets, elderly people who could use some company, mothers who need help with their children, people who can't read, neighbors whose homes need paint, streets with litter, people who need to be listened to, and thousands and thousands of other little things that need to be done".
