Awaken Your Day - June 10, 2008

Good Morning.
How about a Wake Up Call ?

"Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."

I may have the words a little off, but then, the point has been expressed a trillion times in many situations in life. Like here we focus a little more on how we can change the state of those around us from the negative to more positive just by doing so ourselves.

Do unto others. Treat me like you would want me to treat you.
So I have a question.
Would you help me move?

Oh come on. You have a Saturday free. Can we use your truck? It will only take a couple hours.
It's just across town, or down the street or... buddy...hey buddy?
Where did you go?
Hello?
Hello?
"The number you have reached is not in service. The party you have called has left the building."

I have a quiz for you.
Name five people you could count on if something bad were to happen.
Five people - you could call, and they would be there for you.
Your car breaks down. You need a lift.
Your goldfish passed away. You need a shoulder.
You got layed off from your job. You need a helpful word.
You locked yourself out of your house. You need a bed.
You got a bit too intoxicated. You need some understanding.

I honestly hope you have your five and it was relatively easy to think of them.

I feel blessed that we have five. I can name them without pausing really.
I feel very blessed. For it was not always like that.

There were days when I could tell you who my friends were, but I would have a difficult time introducing you to them if I was down on my luck.
There were days. I remember them. I remember mostly how it felt.

In hindsight I had to be honest with myself.
I had to encounter a bit of self tough love. A wake up call.
It was not easy. For I saw the picture from both angles.
There were times in my life that I had to look around and see that I had surrounded myself with those who were much better at receiving help than offering it. And in being honest with myself,
I realized I had not always been the most reliable friend at times either. Not so much on purpose. More so on not having priorities set better. Still, I remember how that felt.

One has to be careful not to become bitter, for then we become that which causes us the hardship. We find excuses when someone worthy needs a helping hand.

"They need help with that? Tough ! Where was everyone when I needed ... ?"

I hope you have five people that you could count on without a doubt. It is my belief that those five will also listen intently and with passion for you when you share your dreams with them, as well as your times of need.

Now, I ask you - could those five count on you?
"Do unto others" - the simplest definition to the Law of Attraction.
