EVERYONE HAS A STORY

[Golden_Angel_K]

Interesting People Everywhere

It’s easy to forget sometimes that everyone has a story to tell if we take the time to listen. We are so accustomed to hearing the stories of people in the news that we sometimes lose track of the fact that the random stranger on the bus also has a fascinating story about where they came from and how they got to be where they are. The sheer variety of paths taken in this world, from farmers to CEOs to homeless people to world travelers, is indicative of how much we can learn from each individual. Sometimes the shy, quiet person at work has the most amazing life story and the biggest dreams, it is up to us to take the time to find out.

Some people travel a path of wealth and privilege, while others struggle with only themselves to rely on, and both have great stories to tell. Each person learns lessons, makes choices, and develops a unique perspective, which only they can claim and share. Even two people who have had very similar lives will have slightly different experiences, leading them to a different point of view, so each person remains a treasure trove waiting to be explored. When we take the time to ask questions and listen, we find that every person has a fascinating story to tell and an utterly unique perspective from which to tell it.

Bearing this in mind, we have the opportunity to approach the world around us in a new way. There is never any reason to be bored at a party, or on the bus, or in a conversation with a stranger. When we retain the spark of curiosity and the warmth required to open someone up, we always have in front of us the makings of a great story. All we have to do is ask.

@ Nonya, i agree completely with you, our egos has grown in a huge scale, that is thousands and thousands times as big as the light in all universe itself. thats why(according to kabbalah) we felt in these past years this spiritual necessity of joining as a collective because the world Bubble ego has reached the top of itself.

Thanks for your insight, yep, we need new standars of value and are of spirituality. Blessings to you.

WHAT A GREAT POST!!! If only everybody would learn to be "present" (see eckhart tolle). People are so unplugged as they walk around with ipods or stay in their houses and watch reality tv. It has left us in a me first society. Its like getting a phone call back from someone has become not important to people. People are unavailable. Hence people flock to therapists. The best therapy is a good friend.....if they ever answer the phone....or if they can ever find the time for you. Thanks again for the post....if only everybody took on this responsibility to be present at all times......if only.
