A small word can be a big light

You might be the first kind sentence that somebody hears today

 oh hello

 during my ebullient exercises at the gym this morning I was flattered by a small compliment I wondered how tiny words can make a massive difference

 because in business we tend to worship the big things

 I started wondering that maybe the real problem is not the people need more fiery inspiration

 maybe the real problem is that many people are flying around in the dark waiting for a small signal that they're not completely useless that they matter in some way

 naturally I got distracted and started searching for fireflies

 I discovered that Fireflies are not actually flies their Beatles

 which means that nature encourage occasionally has a branding problem but a firefly does not light up the whole Forest it gives off tiny flashes which actor signals for other five-flies to know I see you you not alone you matter you are worthy

 shorter of becoming a firefly myself I became I Began thinking maybe encouragement works in the same way. Could we become fireflies and make the world a better place?

 it doesn't need violin or confetti or somebody shouting believe harder perhaps it's a small act a change the can make such a difference

 a small word of encouragement can be a big light

 so here's today's question needs a small light from you today?

 and before you go here is your business blessing for today

 may you go forth and prosper

May your little spark not be urinated on by the cynical ferret of constipation

 have a magnificently kind and oddly profitable day you wonderly wonderful busy brain

Smile warmly
