Have you been washed away in a flood of pain, anger, sadness or depression? Are you bobbing up and down in the lake of apathy? Are you being water boarded by thoughts that life is only about what you don’t have, what you can’t achieve and how everyone else seems to catch the good breaks? Why not build yourself an Ark? When you are mired in bad thoughts that perpetuate bad results, you simply can’t see past the bad. If you are putting all of your focus on why your life sucks and how unfair it is, you simply have very little wherewithal to see that somewhere in this huge mess is a message. A message of learning, becoming something better or stronger and a message that will help you over- come what you think is so bad. There literally isn’t something so bad happening to you now that if you look around you wouldn’t be able to find something worse that someone else is surviving. To say this another way, no matter what you are going through, someone, somewhere, is going through some- thing worse and makes your pain seem small. The point isn’t that your pain isn’t justified; it means it does- n’t give you the right to simply waste this life that you have. If you have a messed up home life, but have physical health and sight. Don’t you think a war veteran with two amputations and blind- ness would say he has the worse deal? If you are that veteran and you meet a family who lost their son or father in war but you still get to see your family, doesn’t that fami- ly have the worse deal? Of course pain is pain and no one should negate what you have survived or are enduring. The point is that nothing that happens to us has to define us. It is what we do with the situation that does. One way to work your way out of Keep aware of opportunities to do something random and kind to peo- ple. Allow yourself to give something and to receive something in return. Humans are built to nur- ture. We are so loving, we are the only species that allows our young to return home after they leave the nest. We are designed as helpers. We get our kicks out of taking care of things. Faydra Rector You Matter the waters of pain is to build an ark. In this case an ark represents Acts of Random Kindness. Do something kind for someone else. Be the hap- piness that you want in your life. Take the actions for someone else that you want done for you. Make a difference in someone else’s life and watch your attitude change. Acts of Random Kindness don’t have to cost money, take too much time or be something that puts you at emotional risk. Watch and listen to your heart throughout the day. What can you do to alle- viate someone else’s pain? If you begin to help unsus- pecting people you will begin to see your own needs being met. If you take a risk and reach out positively to someone else, you will be rewarded from the inside out. Build yourself an ark and float away from all the pain.
