Picture a beautiful bouquet of flowers brought home from the market, and the moment in which the blooms are assembled in simple vases in order to add a touch of beauty to a breakfast table. Some of the buds have not fully bloomed and are artfully mixed with the ones that have; yet, in the midst of these two, there are tiny little ones that seem far from becoming flowers. They are almost too small to be noticed, but are placed nonetheless within the freshest of water.
Many days later, the little buds begin to grow and show the potential for beautiful blooms to be enjoyed in later days.
This is what happened to me as I arranged beautiful white freesias for a weekend breakfast with friends. I am fascinated by the little buds that seem to grow each day of the week, and it made me think of how many times, we are afraid to pursue noble causes, with the idea that our efforts might be too small; especially when compared to already blooming ones.
No effort is too small, and every big accomplishment starts with small constant actions.
Therefore, I invite you to give, I invite you to act, to love, and to forge ahead with all noble pursuits; for every one of these makes the difference, millions of individuals are afraid they won't make.
