Greatness is not achieved by going for the greatness in and of itself, but doing the small deeds with all your heart that will help it grow into a great thing

All great things start small.
People think the "small things" don't matter - forgetting that doing the "small things" determine what your character is...
People forget "little people" - not realizing that there are no such thing, except in their LITTLE hearts...
People think that there are "little sins" they can ignore - but, like cancer, it only takes one to grow into something that can destroy you...
All great things start small.
The greatest, those who make a difference, are the ones who do it day by day, step by step, person to person - a little bit at a time.
And the greatest tragedy of all? God Himself gave us - each of us - Free Will to do just that - and most of us THROW IT AWAY...

It means, no matter how big or great the thing that you did, if it is not coupled with love , then it will not be great. Likewise no matter how small the thing that you did , if it is done with love, it will be considered great.
What makes an action great is the LOVE one puts into the action!

i think it means that when we use our heart the love that goes into something is what accomplished the great things
