The powerful you

Some were born for greatness, some were born talented, some were born geniuses who will make the most formidable discoveries that mankind ever has, some were born to be leaders, some – spiritual teachers, what about us?

I don’t want to be in the spotlight, I’m just not that kind of a person. I like to be there when the decision is being made and I appreciate it when my opinion is heard and taken into account, but I don’t want to be the “star”, at least not at work. There are plenty of other areas where I would love to shine, but the most important of them are the hearts of the people I love and care about.

The best things we will ever get in this life are given to us for free! Let’s start with life itself. It is completely out of charge. What about our health, the love of our relatives, the love of our friends, the feelings of gratitude and happiness, the feeling of being loved and cherished, the way we feel when we know we count on the unconditional love of our parents. I bet that just by reading these lines, you already feel grateful for all the things you’ve got!

The question is why don’t we think more about this and less about the things we buy with money? Which one of the things you will ever be able to buy is going to be more valuable to you than the things that you’ve got for free?

Ever since I was a little girl, I felt compassion; compassion for an ill, confused, worried, depressed person, a lost puppy, a hurt animal, etc. My parents even joke about it, saying that I feel compassion for everybody. Lately, this compassion has led me to the realization of the fact that each and every one of us suffers from a severe scarcity of reassurance! Yes, you read right – reassurance!

I’m not going to talk right now about all the complexes and traumas we all have received at some point of our lives. But we have to acknowledge one truth – all those fears hold us back! They hold us back from doing or saying or even thinking or feeling what we really want to. Isn’t this scary?

One word or one gesture of reassurance can change someone’s life and help them believe in themselves. I’m talking about one word from you and one of your gestures. You can be the one person, who will make a huge difference in someone’s life. Doesn’t this make you feel powerful? You are a powerful person, because you can motivate other people to chase after their dreams and even dare to dream in the first place.  

So, let’s not try to label and fit ourselves in one of those categories – talent, greatness, etc. You are a powerful being that makes a big difference in the world!

Come on, go out there and show the world your art – the power to make someone happy today! Stop for a while to admire your work and praise yourself, because you were the only one who could do this! You, dear reader, are a great human being and a creator of many happy smiles!
