Be the Good Thing

There are very many times in life
when we are dumbfounded
by choices
by decisions
by happenings
by life.
We are sad and shocked
and angry and hurt
and bitter and resentful
and lost and alone.
What is imperative
for us to understand
is that sometimes
the reason good things
aren't happening to us
is because
we need to be the good things
that happen to someone else.
Our strength and our resolve,
our passion and persistence,
our consistent kindness,
our reactions are paramount.
You never know who you are inspiring.
