One of my clients was recently diagnosed with cancer.
News like this, of course, brings up a range of thoughts and life reflections. For many, this might represent their final chapter. Others will survive and move forward with a changed attitude for the rest of their life. When people found out about her diagnosis, she said it felt like they were coming out of the woodwork, offering support, prayers, healing energy, messages from people she had not heard from in a long time.
She wondered what she had done to deserve all this attention. You see, it is not like she is famous, and it is not that all those people are ones that she is close to on a regular basis.
So what could be causing all these people to reach out? This shows how many people's lives she touched, how many appreciate what she did for them when they needed it. People who like her and wish her well.
Sometimes we don't know how many lives we have touched, how many people we have helped. It lifts our spirits when this happens and we see that by just being happy being ourselves and being happy doing what we do, we affect others positively.
And if this were a final review chapter, how would we respond? How do we feel about what we have done? What is it on our list or on that back burner that we really want to do before we run out of time?
What would we change if this our final chapter? Would that change our goals? Would it change what we think is most important?
Some of us will become more successful and well known than others, but one thing we can all do is to bring alignment into our life so that we can honestly say we are happy to be who we are and we love doing what we do.
We all influence the people in our immediate sphere of influence.
Whatever scale of success we achieve, along our path, for many of those we encounter, the little things will be big things. Giving gratitude and recognition to all the people in our life and that will be a source of healing for us when we need it.
I always love hearing from you, so if you feel like sending me a note, calling or coming to see me, please do!
If any of you has any idea you would like me to include in my newsletters, I will consider all suggestions.
Have a wonderful day! |
