Seeing Beyond

I’m reading Robin Sharma’s “Who Will Cry When You Die?” and got many powerful insights from it.

One of them is about ’seeing beyond’.

Earlier I’ve mentioned the accountant who saw beyond the rows and columns of figures he worked with in his typical day in the office. And this book has extended the vision further.

Robin Sharma urges us to see the higher meaning in everything we do.

A school-teacher can focus on how her work shapes little minds and prepares them for the future. A financial adviser can take pleasure from how his clients retire earlier or build the home of their dreams. A clerk at the store can believe his work serves an over-stressed mom or a busy executive, and touches their lives positively.

That beats a short-sighted view of reading out loud from a book or scribbling on a blackboard, filling spreadsheets with numbers and working out projections, or picking up and handing out cans or packages from a shelf.

And there is a higher meaning in EVERYTHING you do.

Yes, even in the simple act of helping an old lady across the street. Or smiling at an elderly gentleman, sitting all alone on the park bench. Or petting an ugly stray puppy.

The key is in seeing beyond.

To your purpose. To your self. To your soul.

And getting in touch with that eternal, immortal source from which you took shape – and to which you will one day return.
