Nothing magical I am going to share in this post. Nothing ground breaking. No great a-ha moments. Rather I am finding my word is changing me in the little stuff right now.
And that is just what I need it to do.
I want to be the person who gets out of the way for people to use the water fountain at the gym while you fill up your water bottle.
I want to be the person who puts my grocery cart away in the parking lot.
I want to be the person who when somebody drops something you pick it up for them.
I want to be the person who asks somebody how they are doing because you remember that a few weeks ago they were having back pain.
I want to be the person who doesn't ask people if they need help...you just take action in the moment because you are aware.
I want to be the person who remembers to text my husband when I am out for the night that I am back at the hotel safe.
I want to be the person who is aware and thoughtful. I want to look beyond myself. And I think I have found that those little things are what create you into an overall aware person. Of others' thoughts, feelings, and needs. I can't just think that big change will happen in my heart without the little changes.
So yeah, maybe it is more ground breaking in my life that I knew. Maybe all these little things that I do will help me become more of the compassionate person that I long to be.
And right now it will just start by helping my son find the Lego that he can't find. Because he was being thoughtful and shared his Legos with his cousin. As always...I can learn from my kids and their big hearts towards others.
Go.
