The magic of sharing what we create
Looking back at the experiences I have had in the six years I have been working in customer service, I must confess that the most challenging ones have been those where my patience and empathy have been tested. However, being open to receive each one of them as a learning experience has also given me moments of knowing stories and actions full of awareness and beauty.
One of them is that of a passionate photographer who one day shared with me that if there was something that made him happier than capturing the magic of nature with his lens, it was being able to give his photographs as a gift whenever he had the opportunity. Like when after a medical operation, he printed and framed some hummingbirds he had photographed in the garden of his house to give them as a gift to the nurses who took care of him during this process.
Seeing the emotion of this person as he told me his story and showed me his photographs, led me to ask myself:
How can we give our gifts?
How can we share more of what we are passionate about?
I believe there is something beautiful about creating something that genuinely expands our hearts and then putting it at the service of others.
With an act as humble, courageous and yet powerful as offering our creation to the world, we are planting a seed of love for ourselves and those around us.
So, the invitation I would like to extend to you today is this:
Share what nourishes and excites you.
Create routes to find yourself again.
Live according to your own ideals and don't be afraid to do it your way.
Find inspiration in others and inspire by example.
Listen and let your voice be heard.
Stand firm in your confidence and turn fears into strength.
Dream, learn and celebrate every step you take.
And if you want magic in your life?
Create it.
Create it with experiences.
Create it with love.
Create it and then share it.
That abundance is part of you and magic never ends for those who decide to believe in it.
