Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 The Big World Gathering ~ http://www.worldgathering.net ~ A little Effort changed the World ~ This was posted recently at an internet board: < What I want to see are conscious ones tuning in to each other in an unprecedented way.... Starting right here, with you dear thinker. > I replied: You know, we have the feeling 'it isn't working'? But maybe it is working. Lots of people we meet each day are trying to be themselves and are trying to live properly, but maybe we sometimes don't notice. Everyone needs encouragement. I can reveal that much of the time, for a long time, I have so much wished for encouragement or a good word - from anyone. When it comes - encouragement - I sing. I start working harder. At least 300% harder. Solely because someone said Thanks to me. Or smiled. Or said I did a good job. Or even said 'That kind of work must be important'. Even if their words had a partial question mark after them. Because I go away thinking to myself: 'Yes. I believe it's important.' What it comes down to is some real connection with other people. Instead of just having an empty desert issuing out of the people we meet. Perhaps they are communicating, and we didn't notice. I say daft things to the staff in the local store, just because I feel to say them. And they (definitely seem to anyway) respond. .... < Starting right here, with you dear thinker > I responded with: I just sent out these thoughts to quite a few people: " I think it's because we don't encourage others enough; and many people with high hopes and great intentions fall by the wayside feeling their efforts were useless ... broken -hearted and dispirited they (we?) walk off into the desert and stop trying. It seems, the key medicine is: if every day we keep putting out pieces of encouragement we may see a snow-ball start which will grow, and grow, and grow. Encouragement and kindness are the oils which make life work.
