“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” Arthur Ashe
The next time it came on the radio the DJs praised the song, so I reluctantly listened to the words to see what it was they liked about it. When I listened I learned the point of 'Small,' it was not that we shouldn't aspire to do big things or have stretch goals, but also to do the little things. "It's visiting the widow down the street Or dancing on a Friday with your friend with special needs These simple moments change the world Of course there's nothing wrong with bigger dreams Just don't miss the minutes on your way to bigger things" by Josh Wilson The song impressed on me the importance of the small things I might have missed.
Note: Arthur Ashe (1943-1993), an American professional tennis player who won three Grand Slam titles, winning the singles title at Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open. He was only the second athlete of color to win the Grand Slam, following Althea Gibson in 1956. Sadly Ashe contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion during surgery, yet before his death he founded the Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS and the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health.
