Here is a great story being passed online from friend to friend. It shows how
important your life truly is and how what may appear the smallest service to
others can make the biggest difference in someone else’s life.

The Cabbie

Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living. It was a cowboy’s life, a life
for someone who wanted no boss. What I didn’t realize was that it was also a
ministry.

Because I drove the night shift, my cab became a moving confessional.
Passengers climbed in, sat behind me in total anonymity, and told me about their
lives. I encountered people whose lives amazed me, ennobled me, made me laugh
and weep.

But none touched me more than a woman I picked up late one August night. I
was responding to a call from a small brick fourplex in a quiet part of town. I
assumed I was being sent to pick up some partiers, or someone who had just had a
fight with a lover, or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for
the industrial part of town.

Two angels were traveling and, weary from foot travel, stopped at the home of
a family who had found good fortune. The angels clothes were worn and their
appearances were unkempt.

The family looked at the outer appearances of the angels, judged them harshly
and refused the angels a guest room. Instead, the family gave the angels access
to a cold, old basement in an abandoned building on their property.

As they prepared their beds from the garbage on the basement floor, the older
angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.

When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t
always what they seem.”

At the end of another day’s travels, the angels came to the home of a poor
farm family. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels
sleep in their bed where the angels could have a good night’s sleep.

When the sun came up in the morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife
in tears.

Don’t deny yourself a single day’s happiness.

All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy
it. Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.

Blessings of Love and Light,

Hold a vision of what you want, because it is so much more fun to envision
and feel the outcome you desire, rather than think about all the hard work in
front of you.

It hurts to focus on being somewhere you don’t want to be but empowers you
when you dream of what you want and can feel yourself experiencing it.

Your vision and dream will be work, but work joyously with a sense of moving
forward and closer to your dream.

Remember, diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their
jobs.

You can choose to be grateful…

For the clothes that fit a little too tight, because it means you have enough
to eat.

For your shadow that watches you work, because it means you are out in the
sunshine.

For your faucet that needs fixing, your walls that need painting and your
floors that need cleaning, because it means you have a home.

For the close parking spot taken by someone else and the only one left at the
far end of the parking lot, because it means you are capable of walking and you
are blessed with the independence to travel around.

For all the complaining and stupid ideas you hear, because it means we have
freedom of speech.

Gratitude is like electricity. It is be produced by a source and sent out to
others. The highest appreciation is to live a grateful life.

Blessings of Love and Light,

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure
around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not
just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.

Blessings of Love and Light,
