If you really slow down and think about the statement “ you never really know what another person is going through”, feel this when you think it, and imagine scenarios where you underestimate what a person is going through at any given moment.
Theme that we are going to focus on that and make sure that all of us are doing everything we can to stay present in the moment of now, so we can be aware of other people and not live a life consumed by our own thoughts.
The only the only way to know if someone needs a lift or some encouragement is to not be thinking about just yourself and to train your mind to be focused on others.
That requires being present in the moment of now.
The story goes that of the 2000 individuals that have chosen the Golden Gate Bridge as the location to terminate their own life prematurely only a few dozen have jumped and lived to survive.
One individual that unfortunately, was not part of the lucky few that survived was a young man that moved all the way across the country, hoping to find a new spark in life by relocating from New York to California and specifically a couple of miles from the Golden Gate bridge in the mission district.
This young man’s life did not improve from his own perspective when he arrived in San Francisco, and apparently he still felt despondent and disconnected from others, even after moving to such a spectacular location in the prime of his life.
He made the decision that he was going to end it all, and do it in a spectacular fashion as countless other folks are done and he was going to set out and walk the 2 miles to the Golden Gate Bridge and take the plunge.
Unless…..
Unless a stranger smiled to him somewhere along the way in that 2 mile walk that probably took close to an hour.
If just one person would smile, this man would change his mind and decide to give life a chance and that perhaps he could be loved.
How do I know this is what he was thinking?
The police found a note in his apartment.
Watch this:
He explained just that:
All he needed was one smile, and he would abandon his plans and keep living for another day.
He didn’t get the smile from anyone.
And now he’s dead.
I don’t mind if this message shakes you up a little bit in the morning because this is not our dress rehearsal life, and we all have the opportunity to make positive impacts on other people every single day.
NOBODY here is a mistake and I don’t give a shit if they don’t have a pot to piss in or if the are the richest person in the world.
We’re all brothers and sisters, and we all need love, recognition, acknowledgment, and kindness.
And kindness from strangers is the greatest because it’s the least expected and under the terms of our social contract, it’s not required.
So let’s get some extra credit in life and share the love that cost us nothing.
Come off of the love wallet and perhaps save a life.
I have personal experience as many of you know with coping with the suicide of my father in 1984 when I was 15 years old.
The complexities and the emotional and psychological impacts for the Families and Friends of people that choose to end their own lives are vast and I’m still unwinding some of those today. What helps me is that I understand the nature of living a life of gratitude and that everything is either a lesson or a blessing for me that particular experience was the ultimate building block to shape my life.
Furthermore, in the case of my Father, there was no stopping him on his drive out to the corn fields outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan on July 28, 1984, with his newly procured shotgun from Kmart.
He had already tested it earlier that afternoon, and it was loaded and he was DONE.
That’s just real.
However, the majority of folks that choose to take their own life are merely suffering from a temporary moment of weakness caused by their thoughts, and an emotional imbalance or lack of clarity/connection to their higher self.
This is why the suicide hotline and some of these prevention tools are so vital because if we can get folks through that particular moment or day where they feel like it’s not worth living more times than not folks can go on and live a productive, healthy life.
More here:
I’m not telling you that you have the ability to prevent somebody from killing themselves today, but I am telling you definitively you have the ability to make people feel better today.
Isn’t that enough?
Sharing the compassion and love in your heart does not have to be a life or death situation, as you can give it away every single day endlessly and never run out.
I was literally taught that by God when I was 21 years old and asked the question “will I ever run out of love?”.
The answer came to me in a vision of a well and a bucket going down into it and repeatedly coming back up, overflowing.
The message being “son you will never come to my well and have your bucket come up dry”.
Thanks Grand Creator of all love light energy in life, that’s a big relief! Ha ha
Giving away that love and sharing good energy from your heart is just like going to the gym and lifting weights, it only makes your love muscle stronger and it spreads the type of energy that helps others enjoy their life and improves the environment in your community.
That’s the best Sales I can give you this morning before 7 PM and if I think of anything else, believe me, I’ll send it over to you as fast as possible with an Attitude of Gratitude!
EVERY DAY:
Love
and
Gratitude
