Oh to see the dawn on the darkest day

The song is 100% worth a listen!



Inspiration strikes me at the weirdest times for sure! For no more reason than maybe the song I am just currently listening to (Thanks Ramsay Collins once again for a real masterpiece)
So, for those of you who don’t know, I work in health and for the government and some days I honestly wonder why.
A good day consists of a cute baby, a language we can both understand and if it’s a really good day, my patient is compliant too!
A not so good day consists of billions of patients wanting a disability grant for their pain.
bleargh.
I think that the abovementioned song hit me so hard today because all too often I find myself losing my cool -until I need someone else’s help and they start huffing and puffing at my ignorance!

So, I think that if you listen to the lyrics of that song and if you are on my wave level, the point that I am trying to make is that we are all poor – we are all powerless.. we all mess up and make mistakes.. we don’t always have a clue what to do next, where to go next and sometimes even when we know, we are afraid and need someone to believe in us so we have the courage to take that next step! What a privilege to be able to help a fellow human in that way?! It goes so much more beyond doing a good deed for the day ;) It requires giving a bit of your heart to the person whom you are inspiring..

SO, challenge to myself and to you if you’re willing to do this with me..
GO THE EXTRA MILE for someone who needs it! Help that person help themselves! Give someone a fishing rod and teach them how to fish. Ok, I’ll stop with the corny metaphors.
But for realises, how much better would our city, country, world be if we just bothered to help one another out once in a while.
