People are too rushed into doing big things when they skip right over doing the small things. The small things can lead to the big things, and the big things are not meaningful if the small things are not done.

Blessed Teresa is saying that little deeds have impact, and not everyone should do huge elaborate things. Some of us are called to make the little differences that are necessary in life.

I think this quote means that we as humans will do so much for the big things, but when it comes to the little things, we aren’t really all for it.

I believe that Mother Teresa is talking about service such as the corporal works of mercy. She wants us to be humble when we do good for others. This is very hard to do since we are putting others before us.

Mother Teresa understood that it is the small and humble things that you do for people that make you a “big” person, not the large things you do for others in hopes of receiving attention.
