I know it has been awhile. My apologies. Between work, school, raising a puppy and life; I have completely neglected this blog for a while. Can't promise I'll be able to write more just yet--I am only a month away from finals and we're getting into the busy season at work. But hopefully, soon I will find more time. (And when I do, I will let you borrow my time machine.)
It's all been pretty much business as usual. Work, school, feed puppy, feed cats, feed husband, sleep. Repeat. But much more fun and interesting than that sounds. ;-)
Watch this.
Then we'll talk about it.
Ok, watched it? Pretty amazing, right?
We actually watched that at work this morning. It was part of a presentation we watched from the staff meeting our managers went to a few months ago. I can't remember the name of the presenter who incorporated this video into his presentation, but his point really hit home.
He said that one of his friends told him that this is what purpose sounds like, for four reasons:
-You have to know the words.
-You have to step up when it's your turn.
-You have to listen to each other, communicate, and harmonize.
-You have a beautiful song to sing.
I thought that was amazing. It is easy for all of us to get discouraged, to feel lost and distracted.
But we each have a purpose. We have to learn the words. We must be prepared to step up when it's our turn. We must listen to each other. And we have to always remember that we have a beautiful song to sing.
And we are the only one who can sing it.
