Sweat the Small Stuff

I mean, seriously people,
sweat it already.

Sweat it, and not because
of old notions about
manners and etiquette,
but because you want an
active interest in the world.

Don't sweat the big things,
I say. That's a huge problem
these days, people are
so worried about big things
that they seem to have
forgotten what's necessary
in the moment, what they
can do just to keep
simple things good.

Sweat the small things,
get upset when someone does
something stupid, because
otherwise, you're
just enabling them, which
is why they do that dumb stuff
in the first place.

Sweat the small stuff, people,
seriously, and you'll find
the big things will start
to work themselves out, too.

I'm not suggesting a cure-all,
but a simply way of life
you should have discovered
growing up.

I'm just saying, learn to think
in the moment. Is that really
so hard?
