Happy New Year Everyone, let’s hope this is a year for health and peace!
Being that we are all facing lockdown again, we are once again left with much time alone and in separation from our ‘normal’ day to day activities and from the people we like to spend time with, from the very people who energise and inspire us.
In this week’s short but very important message I would like to encourage us to think about OTHERS! To really focus outside of ourselves once again and to think about what other people in our lives might need.
What can I do for someone else today?
We can all too easily feel like the world is closing in on us all over again, when all that we know is restricted and locked down once more, the ‘New Year’ is off to a familiar and frustrating start.
BUT remember – we are all in this together and the community spirit is once again at work. Let us embrace that spirit of love and charity, hope and consideration for one and other.
Research has shown us over and over again that we are at our happiest, most content, most satisfied and most peaceful when we are focussed on the needs of others. A kind gesture shows compassion, a kind word shows love, a smile is a curve that can make someone’s wonky day straight again.
So, ask yourself the question – “What we can I do FOR someone else today”?
