Age Doesn't Matter!

8/1/2013

Seriously. (Ok, I'm smiling.) I preach all the time that age doesn't matter in making a difference. You can be very young or very old and you can have an impact on one person or many. You can move one person deeply and she can move a million more. You do not know the reach of the good you bring to this world.

Here is one young girl who has already touched over a million people who have watched her sing this song. Did her mother sing it to her? Or her preschool teacher? Or did she make it up from those who are influencing her? No matter what. You can shine your goodness, your message, into the world in bright and brilliant ways. Shine!

Love,
Laya

There's a Hole in My Sidewalk

This is one of my all time favorite stories of waking up. I got permission to use this in my book: You Don't Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way. When my book was finally in print, I called the publisher to find out where to mail the author a copy of my book in gratitude. The woman at the publishing house was silent for a short moment. Then she told me that Portia Nelson, the author of this amazing piece had died years ago. I cried.

I had never met Ms Nelson. But her words touched me so deeply, and still do. I hope they touch you, too. And that if you should find yourself falling into a hole in the sidewalk, maybe this story will help you wake up quickly so you can right climb out.

An Autobiography in Five Short Chapters, by Portia Nelson

I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in this same place. But it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in--it's a habit. But, my eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
I walk down another street.

Laugh, yes, laugh, yes, laugh

Laughter is good medicine. Books have been written about how laughter can heal. Laughter can heal. If "you see what you look for" how about looking for things that make you smile and even laugh?

What makes you laugh? Are you open to new possibilities?

If this made you smile, or even think that smiling is a good idea,
please "like" and share! <3
