A bit bigger than you think……

Hello citizens, how are you all? All good and in love I certainly hope. I’m writing you from an exit row window seat and feeling super inspired from a full weekend of teaching dance classes. There’s nothing like the feeling of teaching ready and willing students, especially when teaching is a strong running passion of yours. That very moment when you get to see someone that’s working hard at something experience their “lightbulb flickering” epiphany of the path of accomplishment.
As teachers, I believe we search for those moments 24/7, even when we aren’t at work. Certain things stand out. Like a very well explained dinner special from a waiter at a restaurant. Or a brightly colored story told with intricate details down to smell, taste, feeling, design, etc. Anything to help create a path for the mind to eagerly run down to see a sight for itself. These are the times when one realizes that though one is working selflessly for results, it’s bigger than than just self satisfaction. Of course he or she will feel self satisfaction, naturally, but the results have far exceeded only being a pat on the back. They have promoted growth.

A couple of the other instructors and I were talking this weekend about a world committed to strictly growth, strictly by giving and not consuming. Think about that for a second, think about what it would be like if everyone in the world was ONLY concerned with giving/providing. Meaning everyone would be in the same frame of mind that “what I have is enough. Now what can I give?”- forever. Will people imagine this world and come to the conclusion that they would not be doing anything remotely close to what they are doing now in the real world? What would your occupation be if it were solely, and voluntarily only to help provide? A cycle of giving and service. Time, energy, ears to listen, shoulders for crying. A cycle of devotion. No higher, no lower. Everybody in together.

While we are certainly human natured and we will do for us, our time here is SO MUCH BIGGER THAN JUST US. Your next step, your next sentence, has grand potential to change the course of history in ways you may never see until years later. So I urge you fellow citizens, that in the midst of doing you, momentarily take a step back and look at the grand scheme of things. Don’t be afraid or even opposed to doing random acts of kindness, knowing that a seed for the greater good has been planted……. whether you see the results right away or not. Just plant the seeds, water them with hope, and let the sunshine of faith and love do their thing.

Until next time citizens, let love lead.
