“What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for each other.” – George Elliot I think this sentiment has the power to be life-changing for you. A complete perspective shift. Here is what I love about this quote… when it comes to “making life less difficult for the people around me” I have always internalized the notion in a self-deprecating manner. Do you do that? Immediately you mind goes to “I can make their life easier by taking some of my overly-complicatedness out!” Maybe you have felt like you are “too much”, or “too loud” or “too needy” or “too sad and too anxious too often…” So in order to make someone’s life less difficult, you feel as though you have to appear less in their life. Would you allow me to speak against that mindset today? What if you had the power to carry a burden for and with someone? Think about the closest people in your life…think about what they carry, emotionally, financially, spiritually, physically. How can you take one action today to make their life easier? Some of you are financially blessed. You have much more than you need… well you have the great ability to make someone’s life easier by paying a medical bill, a utility… what have you. Maybe someone is battling a spiritual war, where they need God to intervene in their situation… you praying for them out loud, or sending them a daily text every morning could be the help they need to let them know that they are not experiencing this difficulty alone! However it applies to you… you have the great ability to make a difference in someones life. Don’t back down from this opportunity to fill your life with purpose, and to act on compassion towards those around you.
