Presence Doesn’t Require Permission

Presence Doesn’t Require Permission

"... Your presence does not require anyone’s permission.”

 

         Being there for others can be a gift so precious and valuable that we are giving so generously.  Our presence in the life of another might be an amazing gem that shines brightly.

         Kindness revealed is quite the blessing as it raises a person’s view to phenomenal heights.  The words and acts shared could be inspiration that someone needs to get them going in a positive direction.

         Our lives are intertwined gracefully to enhance each one’s existence in ways allowing us to ascend beyond challenges we face.  Sometimes we tug one-another to the places we must get to, and results to achieve.

         At times “permission” is not even thought about as needed, but to get the participation of a helper may be vital.  Our brokenness helps as salve to soothe the wounds of people’s needs.

         The environments we find ourselves in offer incredible blessings and opportunities to aid so many in our midst.  We are filled tremendously to be support for one another and boost spirits.  Our presence lifts others!

Flavor/Preserve & Shine

Flavor/Preserve & Shine


         There is a teaching about Salt & Light in which salt is used to flavor and preserve while light shines to brighten our pathways.  Each of them have value in our lives to raise the level of how we can be productive.

         We impact so many that are near to us with inspiration and might be blessings allowing others to achieve their best possibilities.  Our presence is able to flavor as well as preserve the traits and characteristics to make futures fuller immensely.

         Also to spill and shine light could be what someone needs to boost their spirit to become the best version of themselves.  When given a gift. that we unwrap and put to good use it results in tremendous outcomes.

         Being able to spice our environments and add the saving power to keep the lasting effect that it can have a longer existence.  Plus any light provided illuminates paths for others to navigate more easily.

         On a show I watched, a quote stuck with me, “Everything will be fine in the end.  If it’s not fine, then it’s not the end.”  The character built into us has some amazing potential to change our world.  Be the change you want.

Most Don’t Want Remarkable; Many Just Want To Be Visible!

Most Don’t Want Remarkable; Many Just Want To Be Visible!


         I’ve had many occasions to encounter people in various stages of life, and most don’t care about achieving the successes.  But what they want is to be seen and cared for in their needs.

         We all have so much opportunity to be there in each other’s lives and contribute toward the people close to our paths.  There is much neediness in the environments around us and I’ve realized we are all rich enough that we can give, something.

         Each of us want to be recognized for the person we are with outright appreciation that values characteristics we embody.  Visibility is cherished as a trait so magnificent, allowing us to shine and make other’s lives bright.

         Feeding another with inspiration can raise them to amazing heights, and boosts self esteems beyond any we may have imagined.  If only we’re grasping what is presented to us, but also put it to good use those benefits may be phenomenal.

         Most “remarkable” actions didn’t start out that way, yet piling them together and looking back might reveal things quite revolutionary.  We don’t see the results in ourselves that others notice so feedback could renew us immensely.  Receive gifts freely, show gratitude and share blessings!

Change Is Foundational

Change Is Foundational


         The basics of life is that change will happen; We have to adjust and get used to it.  At our very core things are going to be different, accepting the challenges that come our way.

         Just saw “The past cannot be changed.”  But we can learn from it, and make decisions to help our future accomplish its potential.  Part of a John Lewis quote is “… Be hopeful, be optimistic.  …”, so we must go with the flow, and make the best choices.

         I just heard “… the story of our time …” and that made a difference in how I see things because stories have been a part of my life for such a long period of time.  The “change” we experience through the generations could be valued and valuable as building blocks to our existence.

         Recently I was reminded of Edmund Burke’s words, “No one made a bigger mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.”  When we resist change then we’re blocking progress from happening, and limits are placed on the potential good.

         We might be inspired to accomplish so much if only we make that a priority and receive change as probable hope.  The dreams and goals we’d reach for draw us toward expectations beyond imagination.  Change it up!

Our Need To Tinker

Our Need To Tinker




         So much in our world needs adjusting, and we continually have DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects to keep us occupied.  Tools abound our presence quite readily and our schedules are very filled.

         The ideas given to us and imaginations inspired lead us toward such countless prospects and brighter futures develop.  Each thing invented is because someone thought the future could be better than the past.

         Plans to make changes improves the current situation, if even a bit more, and builds significantly what can be.  We may take the “now” to the next level, and beyond expectations envisioned.

         Even the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) term was revolutionary at the start, but has become accepted and put to phenomenal use.  Our desire to draw the things that flow out of places residing within us find incredible flourishing.

         Tinkering might have a masterpiece in the making, but is precious to us in so many ways.  So filled with purpose our journey has been, focused on accomplishing the task at hand.  Don’t just try, but DO!

Our Dutiful RESPOND-tse

Our Dutiful RESPOND-tse



         It is our duty to respond, but too many times we react, sometimes out of spite, and to the detriment of what is called for in the situation.  We honor and recognize First Responders, not first reactors, as acting with calm and thoughtfulness is needed in handling issues and problems.

         Facing challenges is normal for us, but how “out of control” we seem to be most of the time.  Yet calm and thoughtful responding is helpful in any approach administered.

         In dealing with crisis situations if we can be cool and collected, then a level head may be the way to achieve a best possible outcome.  Also tying in is our RESPOND-sibility to make it a positive experience for others plus ourselves, bringing it to incredible fruition.

         The thoughts, words, actions, habits, behavior, character and destiny have connections, and build on each other forming links.  Our dutiful deeds might lead to beautiful results if we’re focused in that direction.

         The clarity to accomplish great things allows us to view perspectives and meet challenges that come our way.  Significant testing is also the way to transition toward newer opportunities.  Be a first responder, calmly.

Transformed People Transform People

Transformed People Transform People


         
Recently a quote by Richard Rohr I read was “Transformed People Transform People”.  Through our lives we are changed in many ways by various sources.

         In getting inspired by gifts presented to us, then unwrapping and then putting them to good use we benefit as well as share blessings.  Affecting a person or several brightens futures along our paths to quite a extent.

         We have so much potential to make differences in our environments that are so relevant for us and others.  The impact on all brought close to a path near us can be altering life for so many.

         The power of love and positivity may build esteem and brighten lives to the point of raising our hopes.  Being amid the prospects that fill dreams could result encouraging steps towards shining perspectives.

         When we’re instilled with inspiration and idea filled then there is much hope that takes us to higher levels of achievement possibilities.  The affect on others is greatly enhanced and lifts spirits immensely.  Be Transforming.

Make Each Day Extraordinary

Make Each Day Extraordinary



         Each day starts with opportunities that it can be phenomenal in how it progresses, as well as the lasting shine it holds.  Our magnificent control is making our journey superb.

         Taking inspiration from another’s thoughts and words can take us to incredible heights and exquisite experiences.  Our imaginations run wild in multitudes of directions and produce great developments.

         Sensing newer perspectives might bring us to tremendous levels of prosperity that maybe we hadn’t foreseen.  Our contributions to someone’s sights could be what they need, and raise their understandings of situations toward terrific possibilities.

         We may not see the value in what we’re going through while going in that direction.  Reflections and discussions help us realize how valuable it’s fitting into our lives.

         As each day unfolds the outcomes offer upward looking viewpoints to enhance the gifts given to us along the way.  It is not enough to receive the presents; we must also unpack the presents and put them to good use!
