Give someone a compliment today. Lift someone up. Encourage someone to keep moving forward. Inspire someone to become better. Motivate someone to be creative and productive. It’s such a good feeling when you can totally change someone’s day for the better just by being a positive influence. (Thank you Traci for the seashell.)
It can be difficult to say goodbye to loved ones who have passed, to relationships that didn’t work out, to children going off to college, to sons or daughters moving out of the house/getting married, to active military personnel leaving to serve their country, close friends or relatives who are moving far away, etc. How do we deal with these types of situations when these people have been part of our lives for many years? We have to remember that death is imminent, and in most other cases, people are actually making these choices for themselves. It is natural to experience separation anxiety at first, but we have to learn to let go and become unattached to people. We can remember the good times we shared and wish them well in their new endeavors. People come in and out of our lives for specific reasons, and no matter what, we have to let them be FREE. It should be comforting to know that everything is as it should be. When we change, so will our circle of influence (people we associate with in life). Life comes full circle and we may cross paths again. To overcome sadness and grief, reach out to God and ask for strength and courage. God is always there for us and always will be.
Spread your light all over the place. There are many people who are struggling with life. Reach out to them, offer your support, be the inspiration for them. They may need a little encouragement, and it might be just enough to make a huge impact in their lives. I am where I am today from being inspired and motivated by many wonderful people. Be the positive influence for someone today and keep the ripple effect going!
We will get signs that indicate we are on the right track in life. These are signs from a divine influence to reassure us that everything is going to be alright. The signs are usually constant and could be something simple such as finding a feather or perhaps seeing specific numbers. You have to be conscious to see these signs, otherwise you will not even notice them.
