When Someone Wakes You Up

I was blessed:

In life there are times that we find ourselves feeling like a 'hamster' running on a wheel.  No matter how hard we work, how much passion we put in and are constantly trying to move forward, we feel like we aren't making a difference.  I had to get 'smacked' on the head by someone whom I value to see that I was overthinking the outcomes.  I always teach to look for the 'simplicity' in life and to cherish the small stuff, yet I was looking for the home run.  I failed to see what was happening right in front of me because I was so focused on where I am seeking to be.  Why did I fail to see the little things around me and realize the impact that was being made?   I could feel and see how those around me where impacting me, but I was failing to see that maybe I was making a difference even if very small. 

I'm thankful for this 'smack' on the head.  I am thankful that someone around me was aware of the things that were happening. I'm thankful that she had the passion to reach out and say 'hey', 'stop', 'wake up' and 'be you'.   Thanks and for this I'm blessed.

For all of us.  We need to slow down and see how our daily 'foot prints' are impacting those around us.  We need to move a little more slowly and trust our passion as we move to help others.  Stop and truly listen to those around you.

Thanks Michelle as you are a beacon of light to those around you.  Thanks.
