One of my mentors has said repeatedly to me: Little hinges swing big doors. Stated a little differently, he was telling me that little things matter in big ways. Another common phrase that I've heard multiple times is: Don't sweat the small stuff. I understand the sentiment, and there are some little things we don't need to sweat, but I really love this idea from Bruce Barton: "Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things . . . I am tempted to think . . . there are no little things." In this episode, I'll unpack this paradox and say a little more about the idea between little hinges and big doors.
