Today I was reminded why I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n
Generally, I come across as a smiling, positive person, however there are moments when even I define myself by all of the things I haven\u2019t accomplished or have done badly. As I spend more time on this planet, I have more mistakes and ill-chosen directions to focus on, so it really doesn\u2019t take long for me to swirl down the negativity drain.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s usually when little things start to go awry; pipes leak, cats throw up on the rug, and my car is vandalized… and worse.<\/p>\n
What do I find most amazing about being aware of negativity at this point in my life? I\u2019m also aware that I seem to have a built-in self-preservation beacon that pulls a lifeline to my rescue. A friend will email me a note of thanks for my \u2018Great Mind.\u2019 A client will tell me I called \u2018Just in time, I\u2019m running out of…\u2019 Even my cat will come and sit on my lap without scratching me silly.<\/p>\n
Today, out of the blue, one of my colleagues gave me the most heartfelt compliment: \u201cI\u2019m not just saying this, but I am truly inspired by you!\u201d She went on to applaud my integrity in how I run my business because I\u2019m always creating ways to give more to my clients and non-profit groups alike. I didn\u2019t know what to say, but \u201cWow, thanks!\u201d<\/p>\n
Do I wake up each morning thinking I\u2019m an inspiration to others? No. Maybe I should.<\/p>\n
When I do finally give up this human visage, I hope people will remember the good I did in the world and my naive belief in the good in mankind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
