Have you ever seen the movie “Groundhog Day”? If not, Tiny Words. Big Life. recommends it, if for no other reason than to deeply understand today’s post. (You’ll also see a funny, thought-provoking flick – probably unlike anything else you’ve seen.) The main character in the movie is played by Bill Murray. He’s a grumpy,…

Doors are scary sometimes. We never really know what’s behind them. Even in cases where we think we know, you don’t know until you open it. Have you ever felt a sense of relief after opening a door? Maybe there was a little tinge of uncertainty about what lies behind it. Or maybe, you knew…
Read MoreThe sharp pain of confronting a fear is always less than the constant pain of living with it.
Which is worse, pain or fear? Well, neither one is good. They’re not something you’d say, “Hey, give me a double dose of both of them.” In short, we don’t like them. In today’s Tiny Words. Big Life. post, we’re suggesting that fear is painful. Does that mean it makes you go “Ouch!” No, you…

The power of the mind is such a vast emptiness that is full of wonder. Now that I’ve got you completely confused, I think we’ll all agree that the power of positive thinking is a real thing. For some, actually doing it is harder that for others. There’s an awful lot of baggage wrapped up…
Read MoreMay the the unquenchable quest to understand life be replaced by the sheer pleasure of enjoying it.
It seems as though we’re back-to-back with uplifting reminders that it’s important to enjoy the stage of life you’re in. King Solomon saw fit to talk about it at length. Given that he was one of the wisest men to ever live, not to mention one of the most blessed, I’d say paying attention is…
Read MoreThe “good ole days” are numbered by your heartbeats… starting now.
How many times have we longed for the bygone days that were seemingly better than the ones we’re experiencing now? Assuming we actually mean it, that we do really long for the “good ole days”, it sort of reminds me of the old saying about “the grass being greener on the other side”. There’s certainly…
