The Good Idea/Inner strength

Good afternoon everyone…..

A little late today but it is all good. As my Mama would say, “better late then never.” Thanks Mom. So sit down and grab a chair…

I’ve been thinking about how powerful we as people can be when we have the “right stuff” inside of us.

Just today while working with a student it was mentioned that he has such great potential. There are many reasons for this but to name just one it would be because of that magnificent brain which was given to him from God.

He has heart. He wants to help. Nothing is to menial for him, nothing is out of his range, and his possibilities are endless. Why? Because he believes! It was mentioned that some do not believe in this student, he may not have the capabilities.

That is not how I see it. He has a burning desire to do more than what others may require of him. He wants, he has a hunger, he has a thirst, and he does not want to “be lazy.” (His words.)

This student laughs, smiles, looks on with wonder and feels a presence of peace and joy. That is the Lord. This is the heart. This shines like a beacon in the dark. He lights up a room.

Some people can just pass on joy by the look on their face. They pass it on by their kind words and works. They pass it on by their smile or a firm hand shake. This wonderful feeling was transmitted today for sure.

We must not discount another’s ability to perform. If we do discount it, are you sure you know where that ability has come from? Let’s not be too quick to judge…or better yet…do not judge at all.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said it perfectly when he said, “What lies behind us, and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.” YES!!! It’s that still small voice that encourages us to move forward and pass on love.

So I’m going to live on what lives inside of me….and I’m convinced that that is what makes the difference. Enjoy all that you do and do it with a difference. Nancy
