It’s that unspoken language of anxiety where one can become autonomic, rather than reaching out to others during challenging times. There is no doubt that many are facing big financial challenges (perhaps for the first time) in their lives.
Isn’t it strange how, when unemployment hits an all time high, there is also that visiting force that says it’s time to retreat, make things smaller, and to cocoon ourselves into some comfort zone where we can, once again, know everything surrounding us?
But have we ever known everything surrounding us?
Something to ponder.
Yes, there is a time for comfort, and there is also a time for a strong reach for independence to grow as an individual and fulfill a personal legacy. Yet, there is a vital timeless place where reaching to others is the ultimate fulfillment.
We like being a part of something bigger.
We like joining with like minds and to become a bigger beating heart of humanity where we are able to grow exponentially through inspired actions.
It’s what draws us to become sports fans. It’s what brings us to our feet in a standing ovation. It’s what brings us to watching shows like America’s Got Talent (I just love that show). It’s what brings tears to our eyes when we watch shows, like America’s Got Talent, and witness a “chicken catcher” displaying the courage to sit in front of a nation strumming a guitar in the rawness of who he is and sing in perfect imperfection. That’s what Kevin Skinner did, the winner of the last season of America’s Got Talent.
And we love it.
We love it so much we can vote and grant that “chicken catcher” the opportunity to be blessed with a million dollars and the fulfillment of a dream.
How did a chicken catcher accomplish this?
The chicken catcher, Kevin Skinner (no relation), didn’t seek comfort. He didn’t settle for the smallness of the place he had settled in for many years. He had incredible odds working against him and outstanding talent as opponents. Yet, he still delved into the strong reach for independence to grow as an individual and fulfill a personal legacy.
Yet, with all that said, he couldn’t have done it without America.
He knew that.
And most importantly, he shared what he had.
That’s how he accomplished this.
Unity.
He shared what he had with us.
We can do that too.
It’s recession-proof.
Very inspiring Ardy
