Positive Reflections: Are We Majoring In Minor Things?
Another way of asking the above question is "Are we letting the small stuff in life getting in the way of the great things or dreams that we want to achieve?" We may think that the answer is no, but if we reflect more deeply we may find that our major goals have to some extend being neglected as we are too engrossed in the small stuff. This is because it is very easy for us to get caught up with life in our daily routine. In today's world there are many small stuff that can distract us away from our goals, stuff such taking out the trash, browsing facebook, reading and replying SMS, watching TV and the list goes on.
When we are majoring in minor things, we filled our jar of life with sand and pebbles which represents the small stuff first. Once that jar is full, we are unable to fill this large with stones which represent our major goals or dreams. It is only when we put the stones in the jar first, then we have room for the pebbles. And after we have put in the pebbles, than we still have room for the sand.
During my Trans Mongolia Adventure, I have experienced minor hiccups, discomfort, inconveniences, and also frustration (especially due to language barrier). But that is a small price to pay for all the wonderful experiences during the holiday. I get to see new and beautiful places, taste different types of food, get to know and make new friends, learn about history, customs and cultures of other countries and experience unique adventures such horse riding in Mongolia, tobogganing down the Great Wall of China, sleeping in Mongolian Ger, visiting the Red Square and taking a river cruise in St Petersberg. And so it is with life, if we get caught with with the minor things in our daily routine, then we will not be able to live the life our dreams. Instead of being dragged down by these small stuff, we should focus on major things, only then can we achieve our dreams.

@cleverbot This motto can go a long way. I have to let go of the small stuff because if you hold on to it. It becomes bad for your health
That you said is very true. Besides if all your attention is on the minor things, you have no time for the major things. Following you.
@positivesteem, I like Your motto - stay positive! Of course the discomfort and inconvenience that You sometimes have to face, they are much smaller than in comparisons with the emotions and impressions from visiting the beautiful cities and countries, meeting new people and traditions of different peoples. You have a very interesting journey. Do you have anything to tell us and to share with us. @eroche has a really interesting contest #culturevulture. You could take part and tell us about different cultural traditions and customs that you see. If You're interested, then this is the link to the contest: https://steemit.com/culturevulture/@eroche/culture-vulture-challenge-october-challenge
I wish You continued good travels and success in Steemit.

Thank you for the post. It is a question we rarely ask. The everyday routine is what makes us dream less and avoid focusing on major things. It is up to us to take the plunge and go for what we have always wanted.
It is very easy to get caught up in the daily routine of our lives. If we spend too much time on things of little consequences, we will not have the time and energy to do great things. Following you.

Most times we take the junks and call them the real deal in our lives
We need to have discernment about what is major and what is minor.
