I stayed up the whole night yesterday reading an ebook called 'Chicken Soup for the Soul'. I remember seeing it in bookshops years ago but I never really picked it up bcause at that time, I was only interested in Business and Marketing books.
After reading 1 or 2 stories, I found that the stuff inside were all very inspirational and to a certain extent, touched my heart.
I started to realize that, many of us in our daily lives, we crave, strive and fight for affection, recognition, love, attention and so forth but in our everyday battles, we are losing focus on the things that we set out to do in the first place. Every now and then we should stop for a while, and look back on our lives as well as count our blessings.
I believe this is why we are put on this planet by the great spirit, I believe there is a purpose. And it doesn't serve the purpose if we keep on thinking about ourselves all the time, living in our own world.
I challenge anyone reading this post, try this today or tomorrow morning when you get up and go to work, smile and acknowledge everybody you meet and see what difference that would make, to the other person and to yourself. I'm sure you will find tremendous value in that, besides, I believe, it's part of our 'mission' on earth, to make a difference in people's lives, one at a time.
