Little Things Do
Matter
- By Antony Innocent
Little things do matter and all of us know that
but we ignore it ending up only to pay a huge price!
When it comes to building relationships ‘little
things’ count the most and no two ways about it.
Aadith on Air
Not many of us realize that it is not just what
we say that hurts the people that we love but also those things that we don’t
say too hurt people.
What do I mean by little things?
It does not cost us a great deal to say you
have cooked a great meal, does it? Certainly not! However, the mileage these
little things give is simply amazing.
Your wife wears a nice outfit and a simple, “
you look good” is a little thing…
Your husband says that he has a headache and
the next day morning asking him how he is feeling, as the first thing is a
little thing…
Not forgetting that your wife likes that ‘black
forest’ when you are crossing that pastry shop is a little thing…
And the wife noticing that the husband gets
‘black forest’ every time he crosses that pastry shop just because she likes it
is a little thing and making a mental note of it, is a little thing…
We can go on and on with these little things…our
life comprises of hundreds of thousands of these ‘little things’, remove these
little things of your life, then you have no life. When you do not want to pay
attention to these little things, take it from me that you are depriving
yourself of the goodness those little things can bring in to your life. Don’t
get me wrong, I am not suggesting flattery here or that you should say things
that you don’t mean. If you start saying things that you don’t mean just
because these little things give you great ‘relationship mileage’, (I am not
using the term ‘relationship mileage’ in the sense of the number of kilometers
that you have traveled with your partner as it is popularly used online, this
is just to clarify.) then you are investing in problems, because your better
half will easily be able to make it out when you really don’t mean what you
say.
No one is too old for a word of appreciation or
so ‘self-contained’ not to be touched by a caring comment. Don’t let go of
another ‘little thing’ in your relationship without you capitalizing on it.
