Things

I don't do great things. I do small things with great passion.
Mother Teresa

How many times have you awaited for that big moment when you can do something exceptional, something amazing that people will remember you for?
Now try and imagine how many things you have missed looking for that great moment. Have you ever realized that were hundreds or thousands (and I dare say millions) of small things that you could have done every single day, things that would have brought you more happiness than one single impressive moment?
And am I right in saying that you still haven't found that amazing thing to be remembered for? Your name has never appeared in any newspaper; you have never written a book; you have never went around the world; you have never fought a bear or saved a dog from some river and probably you haven't heard anyone saying THANK YOU. Simply because you thought those small things were too small for you.
Forget about the great/ massive/ huge/ amazing moment and look around you. Start with the people next to you and see if you can help them and see if you can make a difference in their lives. 
Stop looking for something that you might never encounter and focus on the things around you. Do this with passion and wonderful things will start to happen.
