It’s the little things that matter. Details make the difference. It’s the little foxes that spoil the vine. However you say it, there’s no denying that little things do matter. The important thing is to recognize the difference between minding the little things and being petty. It’s a question of character, really. I would go so far as to say there is not a thin line between the two, but a chasm. Petty people are incapable of happiness. They will always choke on the little things. The worst part, of course, is that their misery spreads like sniffles in pre-school.
There are so many things in life to worry about – and so many things to be happy about. Why would you look at little things in a way that ruin your life? How do they ruin your life? Your life is nothing more or less than a succession of days. Allow enough of them to be ruined by pettiness, or anything else for that matter, and your life officially stinks.
Pettiness comes in many forms. You can be petty about money. You can be petty in your relationships. Jealousy can lead to pettiness. Wherever it comes from, pettiness only leads to one thing: unhappiness. Learn to let those little things go. Nothing is worth it. Nothing at all. If you want to be a person of excellence, you have to rise above the pettiness, rise above picking fights, and don’t let the pettiness of others get to you. I am writing this at night because I am in a bit of a mood because someone was petty to me. Someone (not family or a friend) whom I have done so much for, practically castrated me over a question of two dollars! You read correctly, two smackers. The cost of... what does two bucks even buy anymore? Practically zip, zilch, nada. I am exorcising this because this person is not worthy of spending any time under my skin. So while I feel I am right and could fight the injustice, I will pay the king’s ransom and move on, leaving the bitter, petty little troll under the bridge it crawled out from under.
