I started writing a blog about how the world is mad…
I had many reasons for people to feel the disconnect.
I got sucked in. In about 4 or 5 paragraphs I felt sick.
I stopped and re-read what I wrote.
But But But… I wanted to be real. It is true the whole world needs help.
When you see light in everyone, you don’t need the sun to shine to feel the sun.
Light behind clouds still bake the ground. So no matter how cloudy it gets…
Don’t disconnect.
If you wait for others to be how you see the world.
You will be waiting a long time.
Life is not all smiles.
But for me it is.
I hold the door open for others when I can.
I wait my turn and only give genuine smiles.
I practice patience, for it is a virtue.
I don’t expect anything in return.
I don’t expect the world to understand me.
I don’t expect someone else to say thank you.
What I do expect: for my standards to be high for myself.
I once said I am a carebear in a world that does not care.
That is not 100% true.
There are others out there
With kindness in their eyes.
There are heroes with no name
Parents who save the day
Artists that paint too real
Poets that write feelings that flood your soul
Others that wait much longer than you
Virtues can be seen if only you would look
Take the time to feel another persons plight
Because you just might see that mirrored in your own life
It doesn’t take long to care
Life is not always about sunshine and daydreams
But I could spend all day pointing out the good
I hope that you can too.
Have you ever had the worst day ever?
And instead of pointing out all the faults
You appreciated all the things that were good about it?
I will DO this and the reason why might seem weird…
I am not just doing that for myself, I am doing it for you.
I am not looking forward to a horrible day.
But to be able to pause and name the endless things that I can appreciate.
I think the less I stew in poo I will somehow help the rest of the world.
So maybe the world is mad.
Can you be your own sun?
Can you shine when things grow dim?
If you have no control over the rest of the planet…
Do you think by working on your own self – You think it might help?
Yes? I have convinced myself. Yes. What do you think?
