If you have not read Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now
do yourself a favor and read it. It truly allows you
to discover the power of being “present” in a busy world.
As I stroll through my mid-fifties I have now discovered the
“power of then.” Two interesting things
have come across my radar screen recently.
1. A chance encounter in my college day’s lead to a wonderful award I
received 35 years later. 2. Facebook
has allowed me to connect with kids that I taught in Sunday school who are now
having their own kids. You never think
you have made an impact and then Bam!
You find out that you did!
My point is this, what you do today are the seeds of life
that will yield fruit for potentially a very long time.
Living a life and understanding your impact on others is
truly exciting. The acts of kindness and
paying attention to the needs of those around you can right wrongs and change
lives forever.
What may seem to you as a simple moment possibly has the
power to transform a life. Decades later
you may then discover the Power of Then!
Everyone leaves footprints in the sand that wash away with
the next wave however some footprints will never go away. Hopefully yours from time to time carried
someone else’s burdens. It will only
make you a stronger person when you discover how to help others.
Today my wish for you is to understand the power you have in
others’ lives. Consider the return on
investment you will enjoy later on in your life as you consume the fruit of
your seeds that you planted today!
