I met a woman the other day who was undoubtedly one of the brightest souls I have ever encountered.
From initial first glance, she was stunning. Radiant. Poised. Charming. Relaxed. She appeared almost golden. Smiling. Attentive. Interested, alert and aware of the conversations and people around her.
Once she began to speak, it was clear she was articulate, intelligent and witty. She was animated and engaging, direct and clever. She humbly drew on experience and knowledge, melded the information with statistics, research and results and delivered the goods with excitement and hope.
Following her presentation, I had an opportunity to speak with her privately. Her nature was genuine. Sincere. Connected. She really listened to what I was saying. Asked questions and shared personal information delicately. Even with all the other things going on in the room around her, she focused intently on my words and treated me as though what I was saying was all that mattered.
I told her of this passion project of mine, the SneakPEEK issue and the September launch. She flipped through a copy of the magazine and then catching me completely off guard, she looked me square in the eye and said, "What can I do to help YOU?"
She had never met me before that evening. She is a busy young business woman; author, speaker and columnist for many radio shows and publications, both Canadian and American. She is currently on a cross Canada tour speaking to the masses, promoting her latest book and teaching women about money. She didn't need to spend any more than the standard two minutes with any of the women in the book signing lineup. Yet, she took the time out of her busy schedule to connect with each person, however briefly. To smile. To be grateful. To connect with them.
The world is her oyster. She has 'the Secret' figured out.
I believe that in order to receive wonderful things, we have to be willing to reach out with an open hand. I believe in the power of generosity of spirit. I believe in acting on good intention. I believe in kindness and faith.
It was inspiring to see those qualities in someone doing BIG things for others. You could feel the positive energy. For me, it was proof of what is possible to achieve through hardwork, perseverance and positivity. It was encouraging and motivating.
It made me certain.
Certain that I want to be brilliant of spirit.
Fulfillment is possible.
It is what I want.
