Treasure in the Details

Let me tell you a story about a young couple I once knew. They were chasing a dream with all the intensity that they could muster. One was working half the night, in school all day and studying and sleeping whenever possible. The other was working full time and trying to keep upwith the house.One day the one asked the other to take out the trash before they left. The other forgot. The results were not pretty. The one felt unloved because the other "didn't care".

The other was so focused on this big picture that they couldn't see how forgetting such a little thing could be so important. Neither one of them understood the position of the other as both had lost their true focus. The whole reason for doing what they were doing. You see, the treasure is in the details here. You want a better life for you and your family, don't forget to keep track of their needs.

You want a better life for you and your family,don'tforget to keep track all they are trying to do on their part too. When you're chasing a big dream remember: Why you're doing it. Who you're doing it for Don't let the little things derail you. Those little things are part of the big picture. But the true treasure is in the details.

Have a delightful week!
