- “Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.’”
In this A.A. Milne quote from Winnie the Pooh, Pooh is referencing the idea that, it is really the little things in life that matter the most to people. The little things that you do for someone everyday or every so often like putting up their laundry, taking them lunch, or leaving them a sweet note for no reason. All of these little things compiled together will leave a much deeper impression on a person’s heart than the really huge grand gestures like vacations or gifts. Of course vacations and gifts are great to get but, those are things that someone could ultimately get or do for themselves. Where, the little things that show that a person is cared for, have to be done by another individual for that person. For example, my Dad has always texted me every morning before school (when I was younger) and now before work to tell me good morning and that he loves me. Clearly this is a very small gesture that shows amazing dedication. Those small texts are a constant reminder of his love for me. Although it costs him nothing but a few seconds, they are not something I could do for myself and they mean so much to me. Therefore, I believe it is the little things that will usually mean more in a person's heart and stay with them forever.
I love this quote because, I believe that it is 100% correct; I can identify with it. I, like Pooh, think that the little things count for a lot more than the big things in life. Without hesitation I would post this on any/all of my social media sites. I think that a lot of the time people will take the little things in life for granted when they should really be treasured. Small gestures of kindness and love are typically the greatest ones because they can be done over and over but still, never seem repetitive. Also, little efforts are something that any of us can give, they don't require a lot of time, money, or even thought to make happen; but, when the effort is made, the impression can definitely be left in the most wonderful way.
