Who do YOU impact?

By Victoria Cook

As I do each holiday season since about 1987 (when I was first gifted the movie) I watch It's a Wonderful Life. The movie does such a wonderful job of illustrating how intertwined George Bailey is, and really each of us are, in the lives of others.

A new client shared with me a piece written by Joyce Rupp on Spiritual Zest. Within it she also echoed the message from It's a Wonderful Life using the anaology of a puzzle. Each of our lives is a puzzle, she writes, but we don't always have all the pieces to our puzzle within ourselves. We need those around us in order to complete our picture. The opposite is also true. We each hold some important pieces to the puzzles of the lives around US.

Ms. Rupp referenced a wonderful message from Albert Einstein further illustrating this point in which he said:

Strange is our situation here upon earth… Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: we are here for the sake of others… Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of so many others…

Your Guilt-Free Challenge:

As you begin to plan your year and set your goals for 2011, I ask you to contemplate how the accomplishment of one or more of your own business and personal goals might provide a valuable puzzle piece in the life of someone else? Identifying that can provide you with a vastly different view of your goal and some additional inspiration to achieve it.

Let this also serve as an extra boost of motivation to help you through any challenges that may come up along the way to reaching your goal. Remember, it's not just your own puzzle you are building, but also providing a valueable piece in the life of someone else!
