Sit and Be

We, as a whole, have become too comfortable with comfort. Pain is avoided at cost and rightfully so. But there's a difference between avoiding pain and running from it. By all means I want to avoid pain at all cost too. But pain in others is nothing to run from. Fireman, law enforcement and military run towards danger to save us. They put their own emotions aside to meet us in our most terrifying times of need. There's something deep down inside them that beckons them to silence that voice in their head that is yelling "don't go...it's going to be painful." They cannot silence it but we, as a whole, can. For the first time in my life I cannot silence the voice in my head anymore. It's yelling at me to go and sit with others in their pain. Be their comfort. Save them. I by no means am joining the ranks of our heroes but am promising that in my everyday life I am willing to simply go be with those that are in pain.

So, who are you sitting with?

Love it or leave it

If you don't love what you do then you can't expect great results...
