A thought for today… what are you bringing to the party called life?
I’m talking about conscious bringing, not just what you have inherited in any manner. That means that if you are inherently intelligent thanks to your parents, what do you do with that intelligence? Do you put it to good use in bettering the world?
If you are attractive looking or talented in some way (musically, for example), are you making good use of that aspect of yourself , striving to improve the world and the people you meet each day?
If you happen to have a lot of money thanks to your predecessors, are you investing in that which will be of benefit to more than just you?
No matter what you inherited, and no matter what you have accomplished in any realm, each and every day you have the opportunity to make a difference.
Even if you consider yourself to be without anything, you still have how you interact with the world to offer.
Here’s my suggestion for a new meaning for the term BYOB:
Bring
Your
Ownr
Being
Bring your joy, your compassion, your understanding, your thoughtfulness, your attention, your acknowledgment, your presence to each and every day.
And watch what happens when you do…
