Be the light for someone to carry on

 

You might very well save someones life today. It could be by giving a simple hello or maybe even just a smile in passing. It could be you taking the call and listening to someone share something tough they are walking through. We don't really know what it might be that we do that can help someone to carry on with their life. 

Sure, it might not be as big as saving a life, but, it could easily be by helping someone to process a tough situation they are navigating in their life in a way they hadn't considered before. It could easily be helping someone to see they are not alone and you are also struggling with a similar scenario.  It could easily be the simplistic smile in passing that causes them to smile themselves; maybe something they had been longing to do. 

We don't know for sure what it is we might do in a given day that can help another. What I know is I try to find ways in each day to connect with another human in a way that shows them I care. Whether it is in passing with a smile, acknowledging another's hurt with empathy and understanding, giving thanks for a job well done during a transaction at a business, or finding a way to make another person laugh. I always want to find a way to connect with other humans. 

I don't believe we are meant to live and breathe on this earth in isolation even in spite of my own brain sometimes thinking that's what I want for myself. I know through my own life it is when I find connection with others that it gives me the will and desire to keep on living in a whole and loving way. 

Love to all.
