Let  $ABCDEF$  be a regular hexagon, and let  $G$ ,  $H$ ,  $I$ ,  $J$ ,  $K$ , and  $L$  be the midpoints of sides  $AB$ ,  $BC$ ,  $CD$ ,  $DE$ ,  $EF$ , and  $FA$ , respectively. The intersection of lines  $\overline{AH}$ ,  $\overline{BI}$ ,  $\overline{CJ}$ ,  $\overline{DK}$ ,  $\overline{EL}$ , and  $\overline{FG}$  bound a smaller regular hexagon. Find the ratio of the area of the smaller hexagon to the area of  $ABCDEF$ .
