Be the spark
BE THE REASON OTHERS WANT TO PUSH FORWARD
Today's world is one where the clouds are dark, challenges keep mounting everyday, the shadows are getting larger, and everything seems dreary with no way out. In these kind of world, you don't want to be the reason someone else give up on the dreams. You don't want to be the one that puts out another man's light, or push another runner off the track. Rather, you want to open the way for others to follow, you want to blaze trails for those coming behind you, and you want to be the light that help others see their path to their destination clearly.
We have all had moments when life knocks us down, dreams get shattered, and failure stings us like a bee. At other times, motivation seems like something we never had. In those moments we have been lucky enough to have people around us who truly care. Sometimes just one person who would not give up on us. Someone who believe in us even when we don't believe in ourselves. That is what we should be to others when they are in such situations.
You don't have to be perfect, to know it all, or have it all for you to be the reason someone else is not giving up; you just have to be present, you just have to show that you care, you just have to show up for them even when you don't feel like, even when you are tired. Your energy, your positivity, your unyielding belief in someone else's potential can be what turns the tide around for them.
Be intentional about being the beacon in someone else's storm; be the voice of encouragement they hear when their strength begin to wane; be the force that push them forward when they feel they can't go any further; and just as you push others forward you will also move forward, because, you can't push someone forward and remain stagnant, you can't push someone forward and remain backward. The more you shine your light for others, the brighter your path becomes for progress.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
