Friday Feature: The Small Wins We Overlook

The forest smelled fresh, the kind of clean that only comes after rain. Delfino approached slowly, holding a small yellow flower in his fin, its petals damp and bright.

Slothy, perched on a branch, noticed immediately. “What’s that?”

Delfino: “A flower I almost stepped on. I picked it up instead.”

Slothy: “That’s sweet.”

Delfino: “It felt silly, honestly. To stop for something so small.”

Slothy: “Nothing about noticing beauty is silly.”

Delfino: “I don’t know. This week has been heavy, and I keep thinking I’m failing at everything big. Work. Goals. Life.”

Slothy: “And you found a moment of softness anyway.”

Delfino: “It’s just a flower.”

Slothy: “It’s a reminder. That even on heavy days, you can still notice something gentle.”

Delfino: “Sometimes I feel like if I’m not making big moves, I’m not moving at all.”

Slothy: “We’re so quick to measure ourselves by milestones. But the small wins are what keep us going.”

Delfino: “Like what?”

Slothy: “Like getting out of bed when you didn’t want to. Drinking water when you didn’t feel like it. Picking up a flower on a heavy day.”

Delfino: “You think that’s enough?”

Slothy: “I think it’s everything.”

🌟 A Feature from Soulamore:

Big wins get the applause, but small wins keep you alive.

You don’t have to wait for grand milestones to celebrate yourself. Noticing beauty on a hard day is a win. Asking for help is a win. Existing softly is a win.

This Friday, we invite you to honour your quiet victories.
