Happy Easter everyone! How was your Easter weekend?
I chatted with a niece of mine back in the US and in her animated 4-year old voice she told me that they had an Easter egg-hunting in their school. She managed to hunt some bunnies that were holding Easter egg chocolates. I was so happy to hear her tale when her smile suddenly faded from her face and told me with furrowed eyebrows that she was "tiny." I asked her what does it have to do with Easter egg-hunting? "A lot," she said, "because I couldn't reach it!" (referring to the bunnies). I nervously laughed about it but over the weekend this has got me thinking - the first of my Easter weekend reflections - how tiny we feel sometimes.
Tiny means very small; minute; diminutive; little; teeny.
I could have just laughed about my niece's predicament and dismissed it off hand but maybe it's because I am already "big" that I couldn't relate to being "tiny" like her anymore. But for a moment there, I tried to close my eyes and imagined myself being surrounded by taller and bigger people and all of us are trying to reach for something up above. I could picture myself being scared, that I might end up being crushed by the weight of the people bigger than me and I thought I could barely thrust out my hand so high up it might just get smacked. Then, while the rest got most of the Easter egg chocolates I am left with perhaps just one only because it accidentally fell on the floor unnoticed because of the commotion and I just happen to be tiny enough to have just picked it up. And then I understood what my niece felt.
Funny how a simple tale of "tini-ness" could spur an Easter weekend reflection.
We do feel tiny sometimes. Insignificant. Not a stand-out. Hampered by a limitation. Remember my post on Overcoming Limiting Beliefs? I had to get back to reading it and refresh my memory about going past beyond our limitations. Even if we are literally tiny, we could actually become big if we only believe in what we can do.
Easter heralds a new beginning. Let us welcome it with a renewed fervor to feeling big despite being tiny.
