TO BE RECOGNIZED

Today I woke up, picked up my cell phone, and the first thing I saw was a message from my cousin. A very special cousin to me, with whom I feel connected on a very deep level in relation to the soul. Her message spoke of how I helped her heal when she saw herself through my eyes and found the light that I saw in her. It instantly lifted my spirits for the day; I felt love and gratitude flood my body. Knowing that your existence positively impacts another person's existence and that you help them improve as a person is simply beautiful. I also recognized that if she hadn't told me, I might never have realized it; and it was quite important for me to know the impact I had had on her, on another person outside of me.

Then I thought about the importance of recognizing people and letting them know, in person or in writing, the impact they have had on us. That will undoubtedly give them light, show them their light and power. In case they don't see it, it will also show them what an incredible person they are, so incredible that they have a positive impact on yourself. Sometimes we don't realize the power we have, each one of us is living his or her own life, doing the best he or she can and trying to overcome his or her own obstacles.

We are always working on our own personal challenges, and sometimes that energy of working on something on a personal level absorbs us so much that we go unnoticed the fact that along the way with our interactions we are also impacting other people. That is why I think it is important to share with people when they have impacted us in a positive or deep way, because maybe they don't see it but you can let them know, so that they themselves can see their light.

Just as it is important to feel recognized and heard; it is also important to recognize and do that for someone else. Give the people who have brought light to your life the opportunity to see themselves for a moment through your eyes.

Let that person know the beautiful impact they have made on your life, just as you would like to know that what you did for someone was well received. <3

Tell me in the comments what was an experience in which you felt recognized, or what actions of another person impacted you and you would like to recognize. I will be happy to read them :)

Love, Mel.
