I was going to say I meditated myself into a coma last night but now I’m sensitive to the word coma. Now that I’ve met someone whose had to live through that with someone they love.
It’s crazy to think that things that happen to us can affect others. Just like the coma comment. I wouldn’t have ever thought twice about saying that and now I’m on a topic I wasn’t expecting to bring up.
Someone else suffered something absolutely horrific and unimaginable and even in physical distance, watching that person hurt and what they went through, changed my way of even speaking,
We may feel like we have no impact on people but we really do. Some good, some bad. Not to everyone either but we absolutely do make an impact. An impact that we may never even know about.
Each person that comes into our life, comes with a purpose. They are either placed in our lives to learn from, teach, humble or be humbled by. No meeting is accidental, even those meetings we may not remember.
Let’s imagine this, you come off the elevator, are on your phone and someone bumps into you hard. You drop all your things including the coffee, you look back then kneel go pick it up on your own and the person didn’t even bother looking back. “Wtf” will most likely be the words you mumble. You’re not running a few minutes late cause you’re discombobulated and trying to clean up the coffee and pick up your stuff. “Damn it, now I’m running late”. Ok well that wasn’t a fun “meeting” right? Well, what if that person making you late just saved you? What if you bring on time meant you’d be at the wrong place at the wrong time? What if that simple but aggravating meet saved you from a ticket of accidentally running a light or made you stop looking at your phone for you to be present to see something special?
Now, there are some shitty shitty people out there that do some shitty shitty things and it’s hard af to look at them as a lesson or with a purpose. Even for a saint it’s tough to see the positive. So I try to find the positive in me when I run into such shitty shitty people or an on the other end of someone’s shitty shitty behavior. What did I learn? How did I grow? What challenges forced me to change? Because either way, we make small changes that as a whole make us who we are.
Whether it’s something really big or really small. I had my pinky toe smashed by one of the boys shoes a few weeks back and it hurt like hell. Bet your ass that now I walk behind them with a bit of distance.
The same way events and people change us, impact us, we change and impact others.
So what impact do you want to leave on others? Like the song goes “it’s not if they will remember us but how”. You are enough as you are to impact others. You are here for a purpose. Make it count. Make good choices, spread love, sprinkle kindness on everything, set your boundaries, love yourself, cherish the moment, BE in the moment. This way, you impact your own life as much as you impact another. When you throw a pebble on a lake, the biggest ripple is closest to the stone and the bigger the ripple the further it goes.
Place your hand on your chest and close your heart. Feel the heart beat. That’s YOUR heart beat. A heart that’s working to make sure YOU are alive. Thank you, Special Agent Heart. (Yes, mines a bad ass special agent – mind your bees wax thank you 😉
Have an ah-mazing day beautiful soul!! Go be humbled or humble another today. ❤️
