Answer 1

Because the little things are in our control and the big things are - big and often uncontrolable

Answer 2

READ THIS AND THOUGHT HOW TRUE IT IS.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar... and the coffee... A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognise that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things. Your family, your children, your faith, your health, your friends, and your favourite passions.
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter.
Your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never haveroom for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set
your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Answer 3

Because the bigger thing are made up of the little things. Tidying your room may seem like a little thing, but it's teaching you to take care of your stuff, how to take care of your stuff, be organized, and so on. These little things stick with you as you grow up and when you are a neat, organized, well-groom person who knows how to respect his property and hence the property of others, he will be very successful.

Answer 4

Sounds to me like your mom freaked out because she's at the end of her rope trying to make you recognize that being neat (the little thing) will help protect you from growing up to be a complete slob (the bigger thing).

Just calmly and politely explain your preferences to her. Based on the example you gave, I suspect you just happen to be someone who feels more comfortable in a messy environment than a neat one. (Assuming of course that the truth isn't that you're just too lazy to clean up.)

Remind her that she and your father gave you your genes. So they, in essence, programmed you to be the way you are. And based on what they gave you, if she thinks you're going to grow up to be a cleaning company owner, she can think again. You're much more comfortable with the idea of being a junk yard owner.

To help you understand what's really going on, you may want to do a self assessment. Is it just your room that is messy, or are you pretty much a mess too? Are you comfortable in dirty clothes? Do you feel that taking a bath is really pretty much unnecessary because body odor is natural and nothing to worry about. Are you attracted to girls who are slobs, and tend to dislike the prissy neat ones? If you are, then you're in your element.

But if not, then you need to think about cleaning up your act.

Answer 5

human beings say and do issues without fairly questioning about what's brought about because of it. What I recommend is that your bf might want to have suggested some thing that bothered you yet he possibly did not imagine two times about what he suggested and absolutely did not study it as a lot as you probably did so only loosen up and if he fairly would not care he will do some thing that couldn't make you question that he would not.

Answer 6

We worry so much about the little things because that is just human nature. looking at the little things takes away from those big things that can creep their heads in at every turn you make, so creating a void towards the little things makes the big things easier to cope with.
Sometimes, the little things seem to hit us harder than the big things too.

Answer 7

Because the little things are right in our daily lives--so we are constantly thinking about them. The bigger stuff is much more complex and difficult to deal with--so it is easier to worry about small, inconsequential things because it makes us forget the more pressing bigger issues. That's how I see it anyway.

Answer 8

Because we are usually too blind to see what is going on infront of us when you only see the small things going on around us which make us mardy so we do not realise the really bad things infront of us to keep us from keeping our cool when we find out.

Answer 9

Who is we? I try to talk in I statements. I struggle with the little things and the big things. But I do not worry about them. Worry is fear is torment. When I find myself in fear I go to God and try to pray through to peace. It works if I press in. Peace is knowing that all is well. I may have to say it over and over. But as I said sometimes it is a struggle but it is worth it when I find myself at peace.

Answer 10

mmmmmm may be you should appreciate the little things more because without them there would be no bigger things you need to learn that both the big and the small things need to be appreciated and then you wouldnt be worrying so much you can just sit back and enjoy life
