🌸 Small Things, Big Lessons

🌸 Small Things, Big Lessons: A Vesak Reflection 🌸

Hello everyone! It’s so nice to meet you all again! How have you been? I hope you’re all doing well. Wishing you all a happy Vesak! May this season bring you peace and joy. 💫

This Vesak festival felt different – harder, in a way, compared to previous years. There was so much to explore, learn, and gain, and it all came from the small things. Yes, small things! 🌱

Have you ever thought about how small things can impact your life? Sometimes, they can change our lives in both positive and negative ways. That’s why it’s so important to focus on our day-to-day actions, because those tiny habits can shape who we become – whether we realize it or not.

As this is the Vesak season, I saw thousands of beautiful lanterns lighting up the night. When my father started making ours, he said, 'This is harder than you think.' At first, I didn’t believe him. But once I started working on it, my argument fell apart.

It was way harder than it looked. The papers weren’t easy to paste, and making the waves was challenging. I messed up. I screamed and almost gave up. But then, I decided to keep trying. 💪

The first lantern wasn’t perfect – the pasted waves weren’t neat. But as I moved on to the next one, I started to get the hang of it. After some time, I realized the patience, courage, and sense of unity we needed to make something beautiful.

I had to train my fingers to move in a rhythm. If not, the paper would tear. That simple lantern-making experience taught me so much. Sometimes, even the smallest actions can teach us the biggest lessons.

🌻 The Power of Small Things 🌻

Even everyday actions like eating, sleeping, and walking can teach us valuable lessons if we pay attention. If we focus on getting the basics right, our entire lifestyle can change. We can reduce our mistakes and gradually become the best version of ourselves.

So, take a moment to appreciate the small things – the little challenges, the tiny victories, the quiet moments. Because sometimes, those small things teach us the biggest lessons. 💙

What small thing are you paying attention to today?🏮


With love, 

Babi.
