It has been a few weeks since my last posting. We have had two major events in our family since the beginning of May. The first was the unexpected death of a beloved family member. Even though we all understand that our loved ones will die sooner rather than later as they grow elderly, it is still sometimes a shock when we find ourselves unprepared. That is what happened to us. Yet, while we grieve, the beat goes on. The second event was the blessing of a new baby who arrived on the scene several weeks early, but healthy nonetheless. Even as I write this, the little newborn grows, fills out, and notices his little world. The beat goes on...life continues with or without us. But we do make a difference. And we can continue to make a difference by touching the lives of so many people.
What kind of difference are you making in your business and in your community? Are commiting your passion and time to grow your business, to learn more about what you do in order to be more effective? Do you help your employees learn how to grow and become more adept at their jobs within your company? If you are a solo practitioner do you keep abreast of changes in your profession or field? Finally, are you committed to making a difference in your community? Do you volunteer at church, school, a civic club or nonprofit organization? If not, why not?
One of the blessings of being alive is helping people grow into what they can and should be. Your life touches many other lives. You can be someone who motivates and encourages others to be their best. Your example can touch hundreds or thousands of lives by what you say and do each day. Let your enthusiasm and passion kindle a fire in the people around you. Your life is not necessarily measured successfully by the amount of money you make, but by the way you extend yourself to other people.
Make the commitment to share your best with everyone you meet. Your life can be a shining light for someone else and it will make a difference.
Have a terrific day!
