Nothing beats a moment where you show true love to the world, particularly when you show it from a moment of bitterness. The world needs it so much in today’s climate and I am priveleged to be heart-led in this sense.
Today I was shopping at my local Co-op store. I was stood behind a few customers and suddenly my phone went off with all sorts of notifications. For many who do not know, my phone notifications are not the standard ringtones, they are inspiring clips from movies I have downloaded, ring cut and assigned to each of my main apps.
Upon hearing the notifications the customers in front became agitated and annoyed. One was at the point of aggression and had a go at me. Now it was very easy for me to break down in embarassment and anger, but me being the compassionate person I am, I took the opportunity to create a moment of inspiration. I listened to everyone’s viewpoint before apologising and having my say. I told them that these ‘annoying’ ringtones, as they were refered to, were my saving grace from near suicidal depression. I shared with these customers my story, my life challenges and how I overcame them, and how the ringtones pulled me out of depression without the need for me to see a doctor. (Disclaimer, this is not an encouragement of any form to completely avoid medical attention. I am no doctor and any mental or psychological challenges should be treated as a priority to seek medical advice immediately).
The stories of my resilience touched another customer who happened to be standing nearby and spoke of her challenges with depression and how she felt worthless and scared to leave her home…until she heard my story, after which she vowed to take steps to battle her depression. The bitterness and anger suddenly tuned to vibes of grattitude and warmth.
The amazing thing about this, I was surrounded by strangers, yet treated them as if I knew them a lifetime. In this pandemic, everyone is family and should be treated with equal love and respect, as we unite to pull through this together. a moment to inspire is one of life’s most profitable and uplifting experiences. We can all be heroes to everyone out there by just lending an ear to listen and lift them in their time of need.
What an amazing way to start a week.
