Details


God is in the details is one quote I’ve read.

The Devil is in the details is another.

So, which is it?

Both.

Details bedevil a lot of us.

Consider this story …

We just went through a refinance of our mortgage. We had experience in the process so we knew exactly what we wanted when we wanted it, and the mortgage originator (there’s a reason for the title) didn’t listen. Plain and simple. So when the settlement docs came via email, they were wrong. Basically, they asked us to pay interest on extra money that we didn’t need!

No way. We made them redo it which delayed the process one more day.



This is why it’s worth it to foil the Devil and get to the God in the details.

There is a cost to doing business, a cost to having relationship. That cost is attention to … you guessed it … the details. The thing is … lots of details, one at a time, add up to the entirety, the wholeness of anything. The details make it interesting.

God, the Devil, no matter … details rock because completion is in the details.

Details

There are so many things that we miss on a daily basis because we are just too "busy." By missing these little details, we’re missing out on the little moments that make our lives special and so unique.

  • the breeze that carries the sweet scent of flowers
  • the sunlight that gently shines down on me
  • the education I’m receiving dispite the financial burdens
  • the quiet moments that I share with the important people in my life
  • the laughter of small children
  • the sound of raindrops falling
  • the short period of time that I get to see my family
  • a good conversation with my mom

It is so so important to remember ways to take a break and a breather. It is so inevitable to be busy with the way we are always rushing around to complete an assignment, go to work, eat a meal, clean up – but it is necessary to take a breather every so often to keep a healthy body, mind, and soul.

 

I challenge all of you to notice the little details in your lives and take a couple seconds to enjoy it.
