helping others – Daily Wisdom Words

TODAY OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD IS SPARKLE. WHEN WE THINK OF SPARKLE, WE OFTEN THINK OF BLING. WE THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BRIGHT AND SHINY HOWEVER, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT CAN ALSO SPARKLE.

I LOOK AT SPARKLE AS THE SHINE ONE HAS WHEN INTERACTING WITH OTHERS. HAVE YOU EVER MET SOMEONE THAT HAS “SPARKLE” AS PART OF THEIR PERSONALITY? THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THEM THAT DRAWS YOU TO THEM. THEY HAVE WHAT I REFER TO AS THE PERSONALITY OF ONE WHO SPARKLES OR SHINES. IT TAKES MORE THAN CHARISMA TO SPARKLE.

I BELIEVE WHEN WE HAVE CHARISMA WE HAVE A PERSONALITY THAT IS MAGNETIC. I BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE HAVE SPARKLE, OUR SOUL SHINES. SPARKLE, AS I CALL IT, COMES WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF. IT IS SOMETHING WE OFTEN AREN’T AWARE OF, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE AREN’T TRULY HAPPY. WHEN WE SEE THOSE THAT SPARKLE, THEY ARE NOT JUST HAPPY IN THE MOMENT. THEY ARE HAPPY DESPITE UPS AND DOWNS. TRUE HAPPINESS SHINES LIKE A BEACON IN THE NIGHT, LIGHTING A PATH FOR OTHERS, SHINING FROM THEIR BEING. THIS IS THE DEFINITION I THINK OF WHEN ONE SPARKLES. THEIR HAPPINESS SHINES FROM WITHIN. THERE IS PROBABLY ONE TO TWO PEOPLE I HAVE MET OVER A LIFETIME THAT TRULY SHINES OR SPARKLES.

THEY ARE THE ONES, DESPITE A RAINY DAY AND DREARY CLOUDS, WHO ARE HAPPY. FOR THEM, THERE ARE NO BAD DAYS. THERE ARE DAYS HOWEVER, THAT ARE FILLED WITH BAD EVENTS, BUT THAT IS WHEN ONE WHO HAS SPARKLE SHINES THE MOST. THEY REACH OUT TO HELP OTHERS AND IT IS WITH THAT SPARKLE, THEY CAN HELP OTHERS WHEN THE DARKEST OF DAYS DAWN AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE IN THE PANDEMIC.

THERE ARE SIMPLY THOSE THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO STAY GROUNDED WITH GREAT DISPOSITION DESPITE WHAT GOES ON AROUND THEM. THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT TRULY SHINE. THEY ARE THE ETERNAL OPTIMISTS FROM THE SOUL AND WILL ALWAYS “SPARKLE” DESPITE CIRCUMSTANCES, LIFE EVENTS OR TRAGEDY. DO THEY EXPERIENCE SADNESS WE MAY ASK? YES, BUT IT IS IN THEIR PERCEPTION WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT. THEY SHINE EVEN WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES. THEY HAVE THE STRANGE QUALITY OF SEEING THE HOPE IN WHAT APPEARS AS A HOPELESS SITUATION. THEY CAN LITERALLY LIGHT ANOTHER’S INTERNAL CANDLE BY HELPING THEM SEE LIGHT IN THE DARKEST OF DAYS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING TODAY.

We all know what it means to live or be alive. Do we compare living to simply existing? Actually in my book, living and existing are two different things. Living should also include being alive, and feeling alive. Do you feel you are living your life to its fullest? Do you wake up happy, looking forward to the day, or does living to you, mean waking up every morning going through a series of motions? Do you feel excitement about each day, or do you feel you just want to get through your day? These are the questions I want you to ask yourself as your reading this.

We all have responsibilities. Most of us have a job and we are clear what our purpose is in this world. I find, however, as I get older, my purpose in life is not as clear. When you think of living, a lot of what it means to live is give to others. My purpose seems to be less than it was years back while raising children and working a job to support them. My children are happy in their own immediate family units. We enjoy being grandparents and this gives us purpose now. I bring this up because when your children are grown, you look forward to being a grandparent and helping your children out through watching and helping with your grandchildren. Living out of state puts a damper on this role limiting it. My son and his fiance will eventually have children. That is exciting to look forward to.

Let us take a look at the definition of living, first our Webster definition and our Daily Wisdom Words definition.

Webster Definition-1. survive in ones mind, be remembered. Have an exciting or fulfilling life.

Daily Wisdom Words Meaning of living-Being excited about a purpose in life helping others, especially those you love.

To live is to love. Living is a simply following through with a routine if there is not love in your life. I love my daughter so much, and see her make an effort in other areas because she does feel she would like to have a close relationship with me. She has always been different, as we all are. She feels her friends are as important as those of us in her extended family. She has enough love to go around and makes time for all. It must require a great deal of energy on her behalf to do this. I admire her and she truly is an excellent mother. Even when I stand back and look at the situation objectively, I love my grandson so much and that is what makes it hurt more as my role in his life is limited. We need to have a purpose in life and if our purpose isn’t clear, we need to find a clear purpose. We need to love others and be loved. It is a positive thing to have others depend on us. When I write, I think. Perhaps I need to shift my own purpose and stop pursuing causes my purpose in not serving.

Thanks for reading about living today. Have a beautiful and blessed day.
