Wk4 Reading: Being YOU!
Excuse me,
does anyone have a lighter because I have a light that needs to be sparked!
Over the
past 11 months I’ve put a lot of things to the side to focus on school so that
I could get the most out of it. I can now say, since I can see the end so
close ( No worries Professor Joe, I’m not taking a break yet)I”ve been
thinking what I’m I going to do with all of my free time. The answer
finally came to me over a short vacation last week and it’s, volunteer for the
Big Brother Big Sister organization here in Orlando. I want to spread my spark
out to children who are just looking for a spark to follow. Who are looking for
assistance lighting their own spark. As a small speck on this big universe I
always try to give back. However the time has come for me to give back to
another person. The ending of the EMDT program is a great time for me to
pick up another life changing torch.
Sometimes in
life it’s important to just let things go. When you can’t change the
situation and you can’t make someone see your point of view, and you have done
all you can do….you just have to let it go and move on. You can’t life let you
pass it by like it did for the husband whose wife had cheated on him.
It’s ok to let things go it brings so much peace to the situation. It also
allows for growth to take place, which may even let you see a different point
of view.
The
framework of possibility is being YOU! When we stand up to right is right and
we stand up to people who are doing wrong we are creating the framework.
Sometimes that means doing something that you don’t want to do to create a
better situation, and other times it’s just speaking the truth.
I believe I
have had the pleasure to lift people up to help them do and be more. At times
I’ve been lifted up. One thing that I love is that my husband and I both
lift each other up and we also always help push each other towards the next
best thing. This chapter is one reason why I think it’s very important to
surround oneself with good people. It’s important to be around people who
you can help make better and who can help make yourself better.
My Comments,
Katie, truly an inspirational
blog post. I was reminded of the verse
in the Bible where it says that we should not let the sun go down while we are
yet angry so my wife and I try to live with such a conviction to not go to bed
mad at one another. Instead try to
sharpen each other by listening and building each other up. You hit it on the nail when you mentioned
about surrounding yourself with the right people. It’s so true since I’ve seen
it in our personal life. When we are
hanging out with depress I feel sorry about myself people, by the end of the
day we too feel the same way. But when
the other couple is full of energy and positive thinking, we don’t want to
night to end. Our desire is that my wife
and I as a couple work with others to light that spark in their life and bring
the best out of them and they bring the best out of us. Great job Katie. Go and set the world on fire! (in a good way)
