Magic can happen in the smallest of moments.

‍

Feeling the sunlight while walking in the park.

‍

Seeing a fluffy dog play with another.

‍

Or a mother walking with her newborn.

‍

These moments happen so quietly that we sometimes don't notice them.

‍

Yet there is real wonder to be experienced when we take the time to just be in the moment.

‍

To breath it in and marvel at the joy of it.

‍

The mystery of life is not always in the big, miraculous experiences.

‍

It can be in the fleeting seconds in observing a beautiful scene.

‍

Like watching the clouds pass overhead.

‍

Or the waves of the ocean.

‍

Perhaps it is in talking to stranger who overheard your conversation, and stops to add in a bit of information you did not know.

‍

Sometimes it can just be in the passing smile of stranger as we cross the street.

‍

We can easily get caught up in searching for the big, profound experiences to show us the magic in life.

‍

And when we do, we can miss those little magical moment that can bring a smile to our face.

‍

Just feeling good to be alive in as we go through our day can be a profound experience for us.

‍

If we allow it to.

‍

Letting it into our hearts to fill us up.

‍

Getting stuck in the search for those peak experiences all the time is it's own trap.

‍

One that robs us of the joy of the little moments in life.

‍

Yet life is truly made up of those little moments.

‍

Dozens, hundreds, thousands of them, and many more.

‍

Adding up all those little moments across a lifetime will lead to much more than joy than any big experience.

‍

There is nothing wrong with reveling in the big moments.

‍

As long as we remember that life is truly lived in all the small moments we experience every day.

‍

And that is where we find life's true magic.

‍

Are you paying attention to the magic in the little moments of life?
