Do you ever wonder if all of your hard work is really making a difference? I do. I sometimes wonder if the mission I was called to do - to provide a forum to help raise the consciousness of the world - is even having any kind of impact whatsoever.
I know I'm not alone in this. Very few people really realize the amount of hard work that goes into even the smallest things in their life - the food on their table - how many people were employed to bring that here, how many miles of road were necessary to keep drivable, the grocery store owner who stays in business and doesn't raise prices maybe as high as he could. Bars of soap, dog food, you name it, to the gas in our car. We ourselves aren't really all that aware of the hard work going on around us.
I think the acme in this category is road workers. We not only don't give them their do, we never say thank you, and in fact, do just the exact opposite - we bitch and complain and glare as we pass construction zones on the highway, get mad if we have to wait 5 extra minutes, and resent the money being spent out of our own tax dollars. Yuck, what a job, to be at the brunt of all of that negative energy. We see only the particular projects they do, with no concept of the big picture they are working under. Out in the sun and elements all day to make sure we can get to work.
How many other people help us everyday that we pay no heed to? What if we said thank you, sincerely, to just one person every day?!
