Reaching Out
Sometimes we feel so overwhelmed with everything that is going on in our lives at home and at work, that the thought of reaching out to help another person is just too much. So we keep our heads down and just get on with what we have to do. And sometimes that is the way to get things done. And sometimes, we need to put our head above water and reach out and today is that day!
You will be amazed at how much time you have available to reach out. Sometimes, people don’t even want a lot of your time, just a couple of minutes to ‘run something by you.’ It’s how you treat those minutes that makes all the difference in the world. You can either listen distractedly and think, “I wish they would finish so I can get back to what I was doint,” or listen and focus as if they are the only person that counts for this moment.
When we reach out to people and share our knowledge, we are not just assisting in someone else’s well-being–we are ensuring our own well-being also. Instead of depleting our energy, we are actually replenshing it! As we do our best to bring happiness and health to others by being useful, we are preserving our own richness of life. It is like a flowiing stream of well-being. So reach out today. Rock N’ Roll Jeff & Val
