Significance- This is a very important story for everyone to learn from.
THe key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but on significance,
and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will have greater meaning.
-Oprah Winfrey-
What in the world ever made you think that your small steps, the little things you do, are not significant? When I am told to take one step at a time,I always have a little inner giggle. Have you ever tried to take two steps at a time? Does'nt work!!
We have to content ourselves in the knowledge that everything that we do is significant. Many years ago, one exercise that Virginia Satir used to do to teach this was to tie a family up with one single rope. In no time they experienced that every little movement affected everyone else in the family. And so it is in life- nothing, but nothing- we do is insignificant. Everything we do affects someone else and has much, much more meaning than we may relize at that moment. We live in an interconnected universe. We may not like to recognize the responsibility of knowing that everything we do has significance. and, it does.
Just because we have been taught that we and what we do are insignificant does'nt mean its true.
Much love to you all
