* Janet is currently on a 4500 mile motorcycle trip.
Early in a journey, you have wide open eyes
That survey the scenery and scan the horizon.
As that journey progresses, fatigue starts to set in,
And at times all you can think about is getting to your destination.
You fail to even look at the sights around you,
Focused instead straight ahead.
That is a handy analogy for life.
You all have your sites set on a particular goal,
A destination,
But as the fatigue of “life” starts to drag you down,
You loose out on all the beauty and wonder and miracles
that are right beside you.
And you overlook any signs along the way that are there
to ease the tediousness.
When on this ride, Janet starts to get tired and zone out,
She misses the wildlife, the waterfalls, the spectacular
Clouds and rainbows that are all around her.
Then she gets to her destination and realizes…so what!
“I’m here!
And in conversation after some rest, realizes what she missed.
Don’t let that happen with the bigger palette of your life.
Don’t zone out and miss what is all around you.
Enjoy the journey as much as the destinations,
For once your are “there”
You’ll wish you were on the road again!
Maya Angelou asks, “How do you react when your child enters the
room? Do your eyes light up?
We feel that is not only an important question for children,
but for anyone in your life.
Your partner, spouse, co workers, boss, best friend.
Do your eyes light up when you see them?
What a difference it would make in people’s lives and the world in general,if when you greeted someone, they could see it in your face that you were genuinely happy to see them.
Everyone just wants to be seen, to be noticed.
Especially by those they love.
Start to try to do this.
It will take your time and attention, for you will have to consciously greet another.
You will have to meet their eyes and show that you see them,
and that they matter to you.
Believe us when we say ,
that you will get much out of this,
as it will start to be reflected back to you.
Your heart will melt and you will remember these words,
the next time you walk into a room, and someone turns around,
and when they see you…their whole face lights up with joy!
