Giving And Getting

Throughout our life we will face many battles but there are two which will stay with us until the end. We want to be seen and we want to be heard.

Each and everyone of us has a contribution to make, a role to play, a mission to fulfil. We all have a purpose for being.

But if we want to be accepted for being both visible and voluble then we have to accept that everyone else has the same requirements. Acceptance comes with recognition and recognition goes hand-in-hand with allowing a person the space and the freedom to reach their potential.

Permission is essential; encouragement a bonus.

It’s vital that, as individuals, we have the common sense and foresight to treat others as we would want to be treated.

That can take work but any effort expended is well worth it.

It’s within the reach of every individual to make the world a better place. The first step is to put the effort into being a better person, a more caring person, a kinder person.

We all have a sphere of influence. Some will be more successful than others but there is no reason to accept failure as inevitable.

We are all part of a much bigger picture and every part is important.

It’s in acknowledging others and the roles they have to play that we value-add to our own existence.
