AYD - May 31, 2013 - I Carry Many Torches ...

"We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark."
- Whoopi Goldberg


I came across this just this morning.  I love how within us, we can be stammering along knowing we have something to say, not knowing what it may be, but knowing it is there...and we move on like the horse and carrot ... and then ... bang! 

I was not looking for the Meaning of Life today, but finding this little quote somehow was exactly what I needed to align a few cluttered building blocks.

If we can help just one person, to see the footprints that we might have made to get through a hard to navigate part of their chosen path... it feels tremendous.  To give the help we wish we would have had, but now so graciously offer because WE KNOW HOW IT FEELS... and we remember that IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS HARD.

When we talk dreams, and goals and life long desires and PASSIONS... we always acknowledge that so many people give up on any and all of them... because they lost their way in the struggle...the return on investment looked like it was never going to balance on the Happy and Successful side.

What if you and your little torch came along at precisely the defining moment?  What if your torch...words, gesture, encouragement, belief in this person.... BELIEF...in their ability, in their dream...what if your torch was the lite they needed to see exactly the final stretch ?

And all for the cost of remembering how you felt, and offering someone an opportunity to lean on your experience to cross a difficult moment on The Path.

Please ... throw a little torch today to someone that needs it.  Guide one and make them a shining torch for many more.  Pyramid the success.

Good morning, becomes a great day.
And a greater you, shapes the environment around you for others to touch and carry forward... LIKE SPARKLES ON A GREETING CARD !!
