Life is made of magical moments. Magical moments that inspire you and moments that challenge you. Magical moments are moments that bring tears of inspiration to your eyes. They show you what's possible in life. They show you the thrill of overcoming a challenge and the heart of helping someone to reach higher and farther than they ever thought possible. The gesture of extending a helping hand and words of support and overwhelming love for another individual. Many of these moments can be found in movies and now viral videos circulating all over the Internet. Moments like when a boy with autism was playing the last game of his high school season, became the high scorer of the game, and his teammates lifted him up and celebrated his success. Other moments like the Dick and Rick Hoyt story, where an inactive father discovered the joy in the eyes of his son with cerebral palsy when they raced together and since has performed countless marathons and triathlons together. There are stories like these all around us. The beautiful thing is that we can use this inspiration and create magical moments of our own. All it takes is a bit of awareness and the willingness to put in the effort to make a difference. Don't let everyone else make all the magical moments for people while you sit watching from the sidelines. It can start from listening to someone in need, volunteering for an organization, or even just smiling more at people. In a world that is diluted with so much technology and emotional distance, people are yearning and craving for more love, attention, and focus. Give it to them. Get out of your head and into your heart. Make your life a life of service to humanity and you will never regret it.
The two biggest human needs are growth and contribution. When you contribute, you grow. It can happen no other way. Also, it is impossible to give with receiving in return. Sometimes the receiving is not a direct tangible outcome of your giving, but what you gain in fulfillment for making a difference far outweighs any tangible items you could get anyway. When you give with an open heart, it is as if you connect to another spiritual dimension that you could not reach any other way. We create our lives with these magical moments.
Love,
Matt
