You know the old expression "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"? Well, perhaps - just perhaps, it's the small stuff that matters. After all, isn't your life lived in moments and they're pretty small...

 

 

 

 

This Week's Reflection

 

Really? Moments are "pretty small" (I'm quoting myself above!!)? Isn't a second just a second?

Chronologically, a second is just that, a minute a collection of sixty of them and so on and so forth! But that is not what I'm talking about - the ticking of the clock neither determines time nor its importance.

We know that time is relative. You and I have both had experiences of time flying and dragging. So, as I said, the ticking of the clock is irrelevant.

We also know that our lives can change in a so-called "split second" whilst, on other occasion, nothing might appear to happen for months on end.

But appearances can be deceptive. They can also lull is into a false sense of the relative irrelevance of the time we're perceiving now.

Any moment could be the "twinkling of an eye" life-changer. You don't know when that might happen. How could you, nows only happen one now at a time.

But it's that one-at-a-time that's important. If you don't turn up to this now or, worse, if you couldn't be bothered, how are you going to turn up to the next and the next after that? How will you be present and tuned in when the eye-twinkling happens? You won't. And, what's more, you won't know how many eye-twinklers you've missed.

Discard the last comment - it doesn't matter how many opportunities, synchronicities or game-changers you've missed - what matters is, as always, what you do now.

 

 

 

This Week's Quick Tip

 

Before you proceed to reflecting on the following question, you might watch (or re-watch) yesterday's Facebook Live (you don't have to be a FB user, simply use the link below to watch it on this website).

Here's the question: Can you recollect incidences of synchronicity in your life? Or, to put it another way, what chance meetings or "stumblings across" have altered the trajectory of your life (for the better!)?

Reflect and take a couple of (handwritten) notes.
