Today's
Meditation:
The
blessings in our lives do not come from those people who
think about doing things but never act. They do not
come from the dreamers who are more than willing to tell
us about their dreams and ambitions, but who never lift a
finger to make those dreams reality.
No,
the blessings in our lives come from those people who
actually have made the effort to fulfill needs of others,
who have faced the risks and challenges involved in making
their dreams and ideas become real-life things that we all
can benefit from.
There's
a lot of value in talking about our dreams and
ambitions. Doing so can help us to clarify our
dreams and intentions, and we can develop those dreams as
we talk about them, turning the dreams into plans.
But there comes a point at which talk is no longer
beneficial, and in fact may become harmful. The
longer we delay in working towards fulfilling our dreams
and ambitions, the less likely we are to start the process
that's necessary to come up with what we want to.
We
can be great blessings to the world not by talking about
encouraging others, but by actually doing so. We can
be blessings by creating things that will help others, not
by talking about creating them. We are blessings to
the world simply by our being here, but we can make our
being here truly beneficial to others by doing something
to make their lives better, not by talking about making
their lives better.
