Random Thoughts About Listening and Influence
So i haven't had much of an inspiration lately, which makes me grumpy...I run off of inspiration so if I'm not inspired about anything...I stall...Today was awsome though...My dear sis who is in first grade gave me a note that said "I love you. Do you love me? Write yes or no." It was so cute I just about cried;) I don't realize how much my younger siblings look to me for exceptance or praise...I don't give them as much attention sometimes as I think they need...The other day I heard a child out on our playground at school yelling, "Listen to me!!!!!" ...I stopped what I was doing and heard him yell it at least 5 more times...I wondered if anybody else heard him?...I've had that desperate feeling before. Will anybody listen? I don't want anybody else to have to experience that feeling of rejection or solitude. When a person feels like no one will listen, it brings hurt feelings because everybody wants attention and needs to feel important. It takes patience and love to listen to kids...they may repeat something 10 times or more and never get tired of hearing themselves repeat it...almost seems like their main goal in life is to get recognition and praise...They need it so much though...the most impressionable age of a humans life is those first few years...I wonder how my influence or attitudes will show up in my bros and sisters...It's a sobering thought to me. We all are responsible for each other...We are in this life together and are a big part of each other's lives...think of a friend and imagine they had never existed...the influence that person has had on you and all the good qualities, lessons, and numerous other things you've aquired from that person would not exist in your life...every friend or person in our lives bring out certain qualities in us...I hope I can be one that can bring the good out in others and inspire those around me to give of their best.
