Better Than What You
Planned
I’m in
Newport Beach California. I got here yesterday and I’m on an early flight out
today. My wonderfully hectic life is all over the place, each day is different
from the day before; I plan it and like it that way.
There are
times in all of our lives however, when our plans don’t turn out the way we
want; they turn out the way they are supposed to.
I was here
for a fundraiser for the HearAid Foundation, (Read more and join us) a small and powerfully purposeful group
of folks who provide hearing aids, implants and devices for people who need but
can’t afford them.
When I was
first asked to speak at the event, I said yes because of my nephew’s struggles
as a hearing impaired child and then adult.
At the time,
I had no idea that I would need the folks who I was speaking for.
After a
minor accident became a major mess, I am now faced with a struggle with
tinnitus, which in my case is a very high pitch ringing in my left ear and both
when I am tired and post-concussion disorder.
I did not
plan to understand the needs of the folks who are served by last night’s event,
but that’s what happened.
The event
was moving, beautiful and round the way life is supposed to be. The theme for the gala was Resonance.
Resonance occurs when a system is able to store and easily transfer energy between two or more different storage modes; or as I say, when you walk with purpose, you collide with destiny.
In life, things happen; some good,
some not so good. When the not so good happens, there can be the tendency to ask, “Why me?” This is a good
question, but don’t wallow in the “me”; put your emphasis on the why.
When you do,
you will see that life happens to everyone all of the time. When your time
comes up and things come together; take the opportunity to see why and how you can help affect the life
of someone else.
As you do,
you will see that your plans were just a dress rehearsal for a much better
performance.
Be you, be well, be
better.
