Have you ever felt impatient?
Have you ever been in a big hurry to get somewhere or complete a project and failed to enjoy the experience it took to get there?
If so, and you’d like to live less harried, I think you’ll enjoy this entry from the blog, Jake’s World, on, “Being a contribution.” It has a couple of very enlightening ideas that will put more joy into what you do.
I just love this, Evan! It just shows that everyone can be a contribution–and, it seems those who eat at the cafe, are very happy to be one! I thought the story on NBC that followed up with a report of school children donating money was great, too. Isn’t it good that they see what happens when fear and selfishness gives way to love and selflessness!
Thanks for bringng this to my attention!
Hi anonymous and everyone else! As the owner of “itsjakesworld.wordpress.com” I’m really heartened by your many kind comments and observations. (And, thanks, Evan, for sharing it with your readers.)
The blog started about a year ago when someone asked what I was going to be “when I grew up.” Well, first, I never plan to grow up (no, don’t ask the age question!) and second, I said I thought there might be a book inside me somewhere. My friend suggested starting a blog.
Sometimes, we have to begin with simple steps–moving a little closer each day toward a goal. There’s a post about that called “When as good as it gets isn’t good enough.”
I wish each of you loving steps along the way, each one glistening with hope and promise. You are important. You are loved. You are valuable.
Thank you for being a contribution!
Stephen
