Reciprocity

On multiple occasions I’ve written about how those with more experience in a particular area have freely given of their time and expertise. For the past couple of nights I’ve been doing the same.

I met a guy in Rio a couple of summers ago. He’s brilliant and moving down a similar path I’ve travelled. He’s been experiencing some of the same challenges I’ve addressed in the past and we haven’t spoken in several months. I reached out to provide my updated contact info and we had a chance to chat.

I did what others have done for me. I shared about the problem, what actions I took to seek relief, and the results of my actions. We spoke for about an hour last night and we both agreed it was a cathartic experience.

Today, Friday, August 16, 2019, I am grateful that:

I was able to share my experience with another. It’s been done for me so frequently it’s a part of my routine. Glad I was able to do the same.

My experience is of benefit to others. During some of my most challenging times, when nearly all hope was lost, that’s when He excels. I’m grateful to have survived the incident and He availed someone facing a similar challenge and willing to ask for assistance. About 7 billion people on the planet but for two to come together facing similar experiences, not really a coincidence.

He can make the most challenging experiences benefit others. Last night while sharing with Ray, I explained what I’d written about in my first book. Something along the lines of - “If He can get me through what I’ve been through, He will do the same for you. After all, you are His favorite child.”

Share Your Experience. Be Impactful!
