Indeed, humanity's survival depends more on these small acts of goodness than grandiose deeds. It is not the absence of monumental goodness that leads to mankind's downfall, but rather the scarcity of these minor acts of benevolence. The edifice of great good rests upon the foundational bricks of small, everyday kindnesses.
Archbishop John (Shahovskoy) of San Francisco

This is a rare icon in the Orthodox Church: it is called “The first steps of Jesus”. It’s amazing! <3

"You've got to get out of your head and into your heart. Right now your thoughts are in your head, and God seems to be outside you. Your prayer and all your spiritual exercises also remain exterior. As long as you are in your head, you will never master your thoughts, which continue to whirl around your head like snow in a winter's storm or like mosquitoes in the summer's heat. If you descend into your heart, you will have no more difficulty. Your mind will empty out and your thoughts will dissipate.
Thoughts are always in your mind chasing one another about, and you will never manage to get them under control. But if you enter into your heart and can remain there, then every time your thoughts invade, you will only have to descend into your heart and your thoughts will vanish into thin air. This will be your safe haven. Don't be lazy. Descend. You will find life in your heart. There you must live."
- St. Theophan the Recluse
