Sharing the journey with others...

Previously posted in May 2016.

 

A friend of mine recently shared why she writes to share her experiences with others.   She inspired me to share my experiences as well.  

Some times Mediumship isn't about giving a message to a specific person.   Some times it is leaving the breadcrumb for someone to make their life better.  Inspire them to explore and find their own truth.  

There is a segment of Mediumship that is about inspirational talks and writing.   They are just as powerful as giving a message to someone from a loved one that has passed on.   Sometimes even more powerful because they can affect the lives of many.

If you have found this breadcrumb and it helps you smile today; well then, I have done my job. 

My story is not that extraordinary but something that I have learned along the way, may just make your life easier.   So I share things that inspire me, make me smile and that I feel the need to share.   I may never know who it is important to, but I have faith that in sharing my journey that it will help someone else.  

Setting your priorities straight....

Saw this awhile ago, it made an impact on me.  I hope you find value in this as well.  Too often our priorities are all messed up.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.  They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.

The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.   He then asked the students again if the jar was full.   They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.  Of course, the sand filled up everything else.   He asked once more if the jar was full..  The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed..  'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car..  The sand is everything else---the small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.  If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.  Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children.

Spend time with your parents.

Visit with grandparents.

Take your spouse out to dinner.

Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.  Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.   Set your priorities.  The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.  The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Having Faith isn't always easy....
