“You are not here merely to make a
living. You are here in order to enable
the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope
and achievement. You are here to enrich
the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”
~ Woodrow Wilson
In the midst
of a busy week, I was exiting a parking garage and stopped to pay the
attendant. I was a little flustered as I
tried to find the cash in my purse and told her that I was a bit crazed. She looked at me and said, “Just relax –
there is no reason to go crazy.” She
then shared that she was turning 70 in a couple of days, but that she was relaxed
and just taking life as it came. I
laughed and thanked her, and drove on, amazed at how random encounters can lift
our spirits.
