In the past week 1/2 I have been a part of something that I really didn't comprehend at the time. Some friends in AZ just recently lost their niece, Hanna-age 7, in a car accident. She was a girl beyond her years and created such an amazing story that will just touch your heart.
Hanna's DreamThen while visiting my friends in AZ I receive news from a dear friend back home that her son, Willem-age 7, just passed away from Asthma.
Again I found myself asking the question...Why? Why these young children? Why so close together?And while speaking with Willem's mom she said something that really made sense to me. I had a ah-ha moment!
She said something along the lines of "The light children are being called back up." Their work here on earth is done and we deserve to keep their passions and dreams alive. There is a shift going on in the world and what we were to learn from these two children we have learned. And I can tell you it has been some wonderful things.
Compassion-Truth-Caring-Giving-Breathe-Focus-Passion-Give more of yourself
Then a day later I learned that my Nephew had come into this world! Today I had the opportunity to see him for the first time and it was so amazing! A true miracle!
Again the question...Why?
Why all within a few days of each other? What is the universe trying to tell me? Show me? Speak to me? I know that everything happens for a reason and those answers are still coming to me.
Perhaps it is to connect with you, here, now. To touch your life. To make a difference. To spark your passion and help you realize your "Compelling Why". Why are you here? What is your passion? Your Purpose? Your Why?
Do you feel you don't know what it is?
That's okay.
Perhaps these few questions will assist you.
-What excites you?
-What are the loves of your life?
-What things are deeply important to you?
-When you talk about them do you light up? Do you get emotional?
Great Now Write Them Down!
Simply write it on a 3x5 index card and carry it with you in your purse or wallet. That way when the little things happen that make you upset, or get you down you can refer back to your card and instantly be reminded of what your purpose or your compelling why is.
My last story that I connected with while in AZ comes from a women who lost her husband at a young age. He left behind her and their 3 young children. For the past 20 years, she also asked herself "Why, Why me, Why now, Why my family?" It wasn't until recently that she realized the answer to that why.
Her story, the people her husband touched-just like Hanna and Willem, the prompting she listened to and others didn't, has changed the lives of 100's of 1000's of people. Because of her loss, 1000's of people's lives have been touch for the better and continue to be touched. Without that event who knows if the movement that was created would have occurred.
As she proceeded to tell us her story and her realization, I too realized a little more of why the events occurred as they did for me.
I now know that Hanna & Willem's stories will continue to touch 1000's of lives for the better and the birth of my nephew comes to show me that life is always created, new stories are being written, and passions and purposes are being realized each and every day.
My wish for you is to take the time to appreciate the people in your world.
Smile at a stranger.
Shake the hand of the men and women who serve this country.
Even the small things make a difference.
Wishing you all a life of purpose and passion.
