Do the Small Things with Love – They Add UP!
- When started my Journey in F3 (5 short month ago) I had many relationships that needed attention. I feel I am a particularly self-centered person. Often taken for granted some of the people closest to me. Specifically, My M, my 2.0’s – 3 daughters, and many of my family, friends and co-workers.
- Through PAX of F3 and the relationships I have bounded with the HIGH IMPACT MEN here within F3, I have begun to mend some of those relationships that needed the most attention. This didn’t happen overnight, but by consistently doing the small things. Seeing the examples the PAX have set for me, and putting them in place in my life.
- For M it was coffee brought home after beatdown, flowers just because, doing the laundry and/or dishes without recognition or her asking for help. A call or text to check on how her day was going. Small things to show her I was thinking of her. Little things that often are reminders of my love for her.
- For my 2.0’s it was being more engaged with what was important to them. More closely engaging in their sports, hobbies, or person interests. Taking them for short walk or car rides. Asking them how they filled their time for the day. Sometimes short and other times long conversations about Taylor Swift. Small gestures that reminded them of my love for them.
- For my family and friends, it was being more intentional with my conversations with them. Doing more listening. Asking questions to engage them to be able to hear how they are doing in their lives. Intentionally trying to focus on them and not on myself (something I was bad about in the past).
- All these things are very small gestures. They don’t take much time or money. Many of the things I did were done just once a week. But adding them all up together has made a big difference for many of the relationships that mean the most to me.
- What Small thing can you do today to make a difference in a relationship that is special to you?
I will leave you with a quote by Mother Teresa that I think drives home my message today –
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do Small Things with great love.”
