Have you ever heard or used the saying ‘making a mountain out of a molehill’? In what context is it usually applied? More often than not it’s applied when someone is attempting to make something that’s seemingly small into something quite major, and it’s often a problem or an issue.
Then there’s the saying ‘from little things, big things grow’. Yet, when this saying is uttered it’s often in relation to the development of an idea or a project, and there is a more positive tone to its usage.
However, these two sayings are putting forward a similar message, even if applied in very different ways, in different contexts.
Essentially these two sayings demonstrate the capacity for something small in nature to undergo a process of growth. What though, prompts the growth that takes place?
Focus and time spent focusing. A problem or issue, when focused upon consistently, inevitably gains momentum and often becomes bigger than that which created the original situation or circumstance.
Likewise, when focus or considerable attention is given to an idea or project, many more ideas and projects flow into that original thought until there comes a time when it reaches a point of completion or realization.
When it comes to the application of focus to life in general, through reflecting upon what we have experienced and continue to experience, we have an opportunity to recognize where our focus or attention has been placed, and to do something about it.
Rather than focus on what has been or is seemingly absent or ‘wrong’, shift your focus to what you do have and what’s ‘right’. Be grateful for what you have, right here, right now, in this very moment.
Through this you have an opportunity to experience something wondrous and magnificent taking place. You begin to have more of the experiences that bring peace and joy to your life. The world around you can be viewed with fresh eyes. You gain perspective conce
ing the real significance and meaning of the saying ‘from little things, big things grow’.
