The Gift of You Navigation: Main page Author: Rita Ballard Our world is inhabited by billions of people, most of who are totally unaware of one another. People spend a lot of time complaining about the way things are, apparently oblivious to their own powers to change it. Each one of us has inside a storehouse of potentials, unique thoughts and ideas, and feelings of love, compassion, and tenderness. Think of how different the world would be if everyone, every day, gave away something of themselves to a stranger. Think of all the things you like to do, and the things that you are passionate about. How many of those things could you share with someone else? If you love to read, find someone to read to, or someone to talk with who shares your love of reading. If you sew, there are people out there who could either use your expertise, or use some of your materials. Go bike-riding with someone; bring a dessert or a food dish to someone, take flowers or a plant to someone, help someone fix something. Sing a song with someone, share jokes with someone, ask How are you? and mean it, ask someone questions about their past. There is an endless amount of ways to share yourself. The most immediate benefit to giving of yourself is the pleasure that it brings to someone else. But there can be other benefits, too, such as self-exploration and discovery. Have a conversation with someone you dont already know, and watch how many things about yourself begin to emerge, things that you werent previously aware of. Sharing yourself in this way can bring out hidden strengths, long-held attitudes and/or beliefs, and maybe a unique way of looking at the world. You may be providing someone else with the value of a different viewpoint, but you also are opening up windows of awareness for yourself. Sharing yourself with others benefits everyone involved, and benefits the world as a whole. Mass consciousness is raised a little bit every time someone gives a part of themselves, wholly and willingly, to someone else. The impact that it has on others lives can be life-changing and far-reaching. The next time you or someone you know starts complaining about the condition of the world, stop and consider what you have done lately to make a difference. As insignificant as you may feel, every little action taken to enhance someone elses life, enhances the entire world. It is easy to complain and to notice all the things that are wrong. Now you have the opportunity to actually be aware of a positive change occurring, just by sharing yourself with someone else. Rita Ballard, C.Ht. has been practicing hypnotherapy since 1997.
