One Apple A Day #970 - be there
Too often, when someone was in need, I didn't show up because I didn't know what to say or what to do.
I believe we overestimate the power of our words and actions while we underestimate the impact of our presence.
Being there for someone else, showing up for who we are without the need to say or do anything, is a precious gift.
Like when we were kids. Knowing that our parents were there was enough to give us the courage to do something or the sense of protection to fall asleep.
Sure, through our doing, we can make a huge difference.
But we can do so much for others by doing nothing else than showing up. So they know that they are not alone. That we care.
So, show up.
For the ones you love. For your friends. For your family. For your colleagues. For your community. For your world.
Even if you don't know what to say or how to help.
Just be there.
It'll make all the difference in the world.
