Is It Really That Big of a Deal

I am a person who tends to let himself get caught up in the substantial work load that I bring on to myself. The next thing I know, I am stressed and irritable regarding other areas of my life. I know it may sound cheesy, but I have a new theme song. "So Small" by Carrie Underwood really got me thinking about what is really important. An excercise I have tried is to ask myself, when I am in the middle of a stressful situation, if this is going to matter in 20 minutes. The answer is usually no. I would love to know your thoughts on this. Are you like me in this respect or do you avoid making mountains out of grains of sand? Visit the Forum and let me know.

So Small
By: Carrie Underwood

What you got if you aint got love?
The kind that you just wanna give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out
And just be left alone
Don't run out on your faith

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searching for forever,
Is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters, after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small

It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big, at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sittin round thinking about what you can't change
And worryin' about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count, cause you can't get it back

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searchin for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
