I Learn

I’m not sure we give ourselves enough credit when credit is due.  It’s easy to think that we are just a single person, that our voice doesn’t matter, that no one hears when we speak. But we, each one of us, are complex creatures who exert our influence in many different ways.

Each of these individual modes teach us more about life and love and each of these better enable us to have an impact in the world around us, in the people we love, in the things we care about.

I suppose one should have included “I fail” in that list somewhere because that is certainly part of the human experience. Failure, however, isn’t the only experience and considering that too many of us are probably more likely to focus on our failures than on our successes I think it’s a good thing to leave that off the list and to enumerate instead the positives; the things that do make a difference in the world around us — or simply within ourselves.
