"Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity and fear of others. Never decide to do nothing just because you can only do little. Do what you can. You would be surprised at what "little" acts have done for our world." ~Steve Maraboli
I love music!!!! If you've ever been in my office at work, you may have noticed that I ALWAYS have some type of music playing. I like all genres of music. I can't imagine life without music! I feel EMPTY if I haven't listened to music. I make my own playlists by categories. Most of my music is uplifting.
I love it when a student comes in my office, all out of sorts, upset, depressed, disgusted, etc., and as they sit (or stand) there, Yolanda Adams is singing, "Hold On To Your Dreams". Or, Mariah Carey is singing, "There's a Hero in You". Then there might be Regina Belle singing, "A Whole New World". And there are the love songs because love is real and real love is possible. Whitney Houston may be singing "I Believe in You and Me," or Stevie Wonder singing "You and I". This brings hope!
I'm enthusiastic about what I am able to do to make others' lives better and happier. I may not be able to do what another can do. I may not even have much to bring to the table. But I know that everything that God has put in me is there to be used to serve others. My love of music, love of words, and my passion to encourage, inspire, and empower others is my "little" way of adding to the whole.
We can all let our enthusiasm ignite us to spark a light under somebody else. Alicia Keyes sings, "She's just a girl, but this girl is on fire!" Are YOU on fire today? Are YOU living on purpose?
