I listened to a call in radio show this morning and the callers were each asked to share a time they’d seen the transformative power of the belief in people. As I listened to each person share their differing stories I kept thinking about these words from one of my very favorite songs and how my own transformation has changed who I am, how I believe in myself but most of all how I believe in each person I encounter on life's pathway.
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion-lyric from Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song”
When one person believes in us it not only motivates us to do and be more ourselves, it also inspires us to then go and do that same thing for others by letting them know we believe in them…sending big waves into motion…
And although we each have only one match, each time we believe in one person we begin a new ripple that will grow and expand…changing hearts and lives of everyone it touches.
Perfect example – One person believing in me gave me the courage to become a writer. As a writer I share what is placed on my heart and am able to touch the lives of my readers and let them know I believe in them. They have value and are only limited in reaching their own dreams by a world that spreads hatred and conformity. Me believing in each of you will hopefully help you do and be more and each of you will go on to help others do and be more….and all of from just one person who believed in me.
BELIEVE IN PEOPLE! …because that, my friends, is how you can make an explosion.
