"Do not underestimate small good deeds, thinking they will not affect you. Just as a water jar fills drop by drop, the wise are filled with good by accumulating little by little."
-The Buddha, in the Dhammapada.

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
Sometimes we think that little things don't matter, but the Buddha's advice about mindfulness and about karma says otherwise. The Buddha is saying that everything matters. When we are really attentive and mindful and careful and understand cause and effect, what we translate as karma, we start to realize that. Everything matters. Everything has consequences. And as he says, even a jar of water or the ocean is filled one drop at a time. So we all can accumulate goodness, no matter how small or trivial seeming our action is, every thought matters. Everything we say with our speech matters. Everything we do matters, and if we live our life with that kind of mindfulness and attentiveness, we can be sure that our life will be filled with happiness and goodness.
