Some mornings I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the people in my life, both those that I know well, and those who have graciously inspired me without their knowledge. This morning, I was greeted at my front door by three smiling, enthusiastic friends to pick me up for a personal training seminar. It was simply one of those moments in life that makes you smile about all of the people and blessings that have been sprinkled into your life.
What would happen if we gave back more joy to the world than we received from it? That every time we were showered with joy, that we were able to multiple it onto others?
When overwhelmed with gratitude I like to reflect upon how I in turn can give back and influence others in the same way that I have been touched. On my desk at work I keep a post-it note taped to my desk, and it is with the words on that note that I challenge and leave you with today:
How do I give more to this world than I take out of it?
