Focal Shift
by Terri King on Nov.11, 2008, under Uncategorized
Veteran’s Day is a time to honor those who have given of themselves for the sake of others, for their country, for freedom’s glory.
It reminds me that in these times of trouble, a great way to curb negativity and despair is to take the focus off you and give something to someone else.
It’s natural when we get in trouble to withdraw into ourselves. I must say, that’s exactly what I have done. Just ask my friends and family.
Not that this is so bad, but I was talking to another business owner earlier today and I realized giving her an ear and trying to encourage her gave me a good feeling.
We really do need each other and I appreciate all of you.
Thank a veteran today and ask that person next to you how they are and if you can do anything to help them. The reward may be yours.
