In an attempt to help people reduce stress, anxiety and deal with life, Richard Carlson, Ph.D. wrote the book Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. In a postscript he adds, “…and it’s all small stuff.”
The book teaches us simple ways to prevent the little things from taking over our lives. The paradox is, of course, that it’s the little things we can control that matter. Life is made up of little things. It is very rare that great success comes by doing something extraordinary at a given moment in time. True success consists of being great in the little things over a period of time.
