About My Spare Brain
I spend much time searching for things - books, films, stories, quotes, songs, jokes, pictures, poems, prayers, anything really - that helps me see and think differently. Some of the ideas I've come across are presented in my book,
See New Now. Others are fleshed out in my other
blog. The rest are stored here for use in future books, articles, blog posts, speeches, and workshops. There is little rhyme or reason for what I post here. I do this to encourage visitors to come here as
treasure hunters looking for new ways of seeing and thinking vs.
researchers looking for new or better answers to questions they already know how to ask.
How much does it cost to bless another person? How much time does it really take to make a difference? What could it mean to give the gift of a simple blessing (a kind word, an acknowledgement, an observation of the good in someone, and so on). Does it really matter that we simply let someone know "You are. And I noticed."?
ReplyDeleteThe cost is pretty much nothing... the time is measured in heartbeats not ticks of the clock... the meaning is calculated on the scales of eternity... and it matters because the blessor, more often than not, becomes the blessee.
3. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4 NIV
Thanks John for this thoughtful comment.
