I was taking a quick break from my Body Combat class to wash my face with some cold water. There was a technical issue with the air-conditioner, and we were too many people sharing the same passion in a small area!
The warm water I found was a little annoying given I needed to refresh my face and neck. Luckily, the cleaning service person was around. I asked her whether I was using the tap correctly.
She came in my direction and checked it before adding: โThe water might have caught COVID-19!โ I giggled so much that some people in the locker room joined me in my hilarious laughter! ๐๐๐
She was smiling peacefully. Then, she expressed how happy she was for making me laugh! I looked into her eyes and, with a heart full of gratitude, said:
I donโt think you even realize how awesome you are. You impacted my spirit and restored my faith. Thank you for being a light in an often dim world!
Her face sparkled with the genuine joy of a free kid. The chuckle made my energy level rise too. I was ready to conquer the world! End of the story. ๐
Takeaway
In the middle of those chaotic times, it would have been legitimate for this woman to be anxious about the food to put on the table. Still, she chooses to show up as a servant leader. She decides not only to defeat her fears but also to shine brightly and inspire people around her.
She chooses to honor the life she was granted. She chooses hope. She chooses gratitude. She chooses love!
