A
quick personal example: I’ve been
writing seriously for six years. Occasionally
I receive heartwarming words from readers expressing appreciation for what I’ve
written.
My
words are pretty simple – probably on the intellectual level of a tenth grade
student. I write from my heart, and
occasionally my heart touches another heart.
That is an extraordinary moment.
Speakers
have extraordinary moments when someone in their audience actually pays
attention to their talk.
A
hand outstretched often begins an extraordinary friendship.
A
smile and kind word of appreciation often create an extraordinary moment of
hope and joy for the receiver
I
fed a homeless man two chicken salad sandwiches and a latte on Sunday. He specifically asked for those foods. I have a feeling those sandwiches and drink created
an extraordinary Sunday, and a belly that felt full for a brief few hours.
I
whisper encouraging words occasionally to those close to me, and sometimes to
strangers. Maybe, perhaps I am creating
for the recipient one brief moment of extraordinary joy and esteem.
Join
in. Create extraordinary moments wherever
you plant you foot.
