Are we so focused on pursuing that next big thing that we are missing the little things in our lives happening every day?

I have been guilty of this in my own life many times. I get so focused on the next move in my career or my business that I overlook the little things happening around me. I was reminded of how amazing the little things are this past weekend.

I was able to watch my son and his team play in a soccer tournament before jumping on a plane to head out of town for work. The decision to take the latest flight I could so that I would be able to see him play was the right one. The joy I experienced from watching them play, and eventually win, the tournament was amazing. On the surface watching him play soccer may seem like a small thing but it’s a memory that will last for a long time thus becoming a big thing.

So what little things are you overlooking because you’ve let the big things dominate your life? Take a step back and see what little things you need to start enjoying more so they become big things later in life.
