Dog poop? Saving chairs? Someone's driving too fast? How important is it?

Bosoxfan, Thank you for posting this. Richie is someone I would love to work with! And his parents always had his back.

Oh WOW!!! that is really inspiring and puts things in perspective. "I would say there isn't anything in life I can't do...just things I haven't done yet." Great parents too.

Thank you for sharing

I’ve seen this video before, was awed by it then, and am still awed by it. But even without Richie, how we answer the question highlighted above is one of the determining factors of our lives in terms of our attitudes and outlook. If we are to look honestly at the things that rile us up and ask ourselves, “How important is it?” for 90 percent, maybe more, of the “stuff” in our lives, it not only will NOT have a bearing on the rest of our lives but will not even mean anything by next week. And those things that truly ARE important can be dealt with more easily with more energy available from not sweating the small stuff. After all, most of it IS small….

In general, I don't disagree with what you have said but I think it may mean something different to each person. To me it means that we don't really need a political board on this website because, ultimately, nothing is accomplished.

As far as "small stuff" goes, who will be the judge of what that is? It's all relative, is it not?

Using your logic, we do not need a government either as nothing gets accomplished. I would also be shocked to hear of anyone who thought their comments would change anything.

Everything seems to be taken to extremes....my small stuff may be big stuff to you, and vice versa.

Those who REALLY believe will no longer be discussing much of anything, as it is small stuff and you will not change anything.
