“Today I will reach out instead of waiting to be reached.”
Another short session with a sweet message: be the one to reach out first and make a connection. Faith Hunter reminds us that we naturally crave connection and, more importantly, that we don’t have to live life alone.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget that others are thinking of us and caring about us even though they’re not with us. I mean, how often do we think of people we haven’t seen or talked to in a while? It stands to reason that if we think of them, they probably think about us too. And that’s where connection begins. It’s up to us to take the next step: reach out. It doesn’t have to be some grandiose thing. It can be something as simple as a text, a check-in call, even a handwritten note to let someone know you’re thinking of them. Not because you have to but because you want to. I know how I feel when a friend randomly reaches out to me – and I know how I feel when I reach out to someone and they react very positively. We’ve made a connection and my heart feels full.
Faith asks us to sit in the silence for a bit and let someone pop into our minds. She tells us to let it happen naturally, not to consciously try to think of someone. Imagine their face. Think about the last time you spoke to that person. Then she encourages us to reach out rather than wait for them to contact us. She says, “One small step is enough.”
Who did you think of today? Will you reach out? It only takes one small gesture to make a meaningful connection . . .
