A Blue Index Card

I used index cards for presentations back at the office and graduate school. Sometimes, I would add a drawing – a smiley face or a little flower – as a reminder to relax and to smile, for I used to be very serious, way too serious for life!

I know that now, a year after I faced a wall between me and my office with the projects and the dissertation locked in there. Piece-by-piece, I begin to see how that wall was created.

Yesterday, in search for something rather unimportant, I was sorting through mountains of paper files. I do not know if I will ever have enough time in this life to organize them properly, for I am a perfectionist (or, I used to be, and it no longer serves the balanced ME, so there is a chance!). And out of the blue, a blue index card flew out of a pile.

On that card, on 01/08/08, I wrote:

“Make every person feel special.”

“Start with self”, an addition dated 01/14/08 states.

And more written on January 8, 2008:

“My mission, my goal, my dream: to make every person I can reach feel special; thus, I want to reach many people in the World.”

And more, highlighted:

“Every day in every way I make yet another person feel special.”

I was silent for a while. It is amazing how we create. And while I am grateful to my experiences, I am happy to share the fact that you do not need to live through a car accident or an illness to start doing what you really came to this life for. Just have fun with your life, and enjoy every moment of being! You can do it. :)
