Often life whispers to us to warn us of potential problems that may lie ahead, but frequently we are so busy with other things that we ignore these warning signs. One of the best ways to reduce the number of problems in your life is to learn to listen and act on life’s whispers.
Here’s a true story that illustrates the concept of life’s whispers:
David was an emergency physician who faced life and death situations on an almost daily basis. He worked long hours and lived his life in a high stress and high pressure environment.
One afternoon as he walked up the stairs to his car, David felt a tightness in his chest. As he was only 41, he dismissed it as heart burn. In the days that followed, the tightness returned but David was too busy to take much notice. Then he realised that life was whispering to him. He knew that if a patient came to him with the symptoms he was experiencing he would tell them to have some tests.
To cut a long story short, David booked himself in for a checkup and discovered that one of his coronary arteries was blocked. He had a stent inserted and was able to return to his normal activities within a few days.
By listening to life’s whisper and taking action, David avoided a life threatening situation.
Today I’d like to encourage you to take a step back from your daily routine, and find a quiet moment to stop and listen for life’s whispers.
Is there a health issue you should get checked out?
Is there someone you should touch base with?
Is there something you know you should do but haven’t got around to?
When you take the time to listen for life’s whispers you will discover that they are an incredibly valuable tool that will help you stay on track and avoid many of the pitfalls on the road to achieving your most important life goals.
Until Next Time,
Dare To Dream!
Anthony
