In the great
symphony of life, we all have important parts to play. While some people are
best suited to be conductors or soloists, their contributions would be
diminished considerably without the individual musicians that lend their
artistry to the fullness of an orchestra. The magical accents of the
percussion section might sound random and out of place without the music they
accompany. But any one member of an orchestra, doing less than their best at
their particular part, can destroy the harmony of the whole piece, such is
their importance. So although we may not receive the same amount or quality
of attention as another, all of our contributions are valuable and integral
to the success of the whole.
When we do our tasks well, we infuse them with our unique energy, making each
act a gift. Each of our personalities and talents are suited to different
roles of support. Even leaders and star performers support others in their
own way. We can look around us at any moment to see that while we nurture
some people with our work, others are supporting us with their gifts. Doing
any job from this place within us allows us to do our part with humility and
gratitude, while also learning lessons that move us steadily toward our
goals.
When we can be fully present in every job that we do, we bring the fullness
of our bodies, minds and spirits to the moment. Our contribution is enhanced
by the infusion of our talents and abilities, and when we give them
willingly, they attract the right people and circumstances into our
experience. Anything we do begrudgingly limits the flow of our energy and
closes us off from the good that is available to us in every situation. But
by giving the best in us to make the world around us better, we open
ourselves to receive the best from the universe in return.
