SALES AND THE CITY - Missing Piece, The Gift of Love
Episode 21 - By Sara Rotter, Halstead Property Executive Director of Sales Downtown
Most people that know me know that I have a voracious appetite to figure out the “why” in a lot of things. I recently attended the most mind-blowing lecture that combined a historical recount of our greatest minds ’s discoveries and tied it all together to show how they all slowly uncovered what life is all about. Basically, what they all discovered hundreds of years ago, most scientists are just catching up with now to prove scientifically. Pretty amazing, no? I couldn’t believe that the speaker was basically summing up the deepest principles of astrophysics in the most simple way. Ready for it? It’s easier than you think. I will explain. He explained that our most basic building block - the atom- that makes up everything we see and do not see – is not only a particle but has “wave” properties. Did I lose you yet? I shouldn’t have. All that means is that everything that we are made of is actually not solid. That means that we and everything we see is both “solid matter” AND ENERGY at the same time.
Poof! That was when my head exploded. ;) He went on to explain that we are all connected and from the same root – too long for this post but if you email me, I can share (I literally have 9 pages of notes, lol!). Since we are all interconnected energetically, everything we do effects our surrounds. We can therefore effect our surroundings and the world – positively or negatively. Really? Yes, really. So when we do a random act of kindness, or think a positive thought, it effects us individually and our surroundings positively. Unfortunately same goes for the opposite. He drew a beautiful analogy that I wanted to share. It is that we are just one piece of a massive puzzle. That in our lives we each take our puzzle piece and try to find other puzzle pieces to build our lives – happiness, prosperity, family, work, material possessions….etc. That is great but we can do more. And the most memorable figures have. What we can also see is that OUR puzzle piece is a solution for someone else, and that person for someone else! In short, we are each given unique gifts and talents that can help others in addition to helping just ourselves. And when we all possess that way of thinking – of sharing our unique “puzzle piece” - gift - with others, is how to achieve peace on earth. Pretty simple, right? It all starts in the space between our ears! J
So on this Valentine’s Day- I wish you all to find out what your puzzle piece is so that you can use it for yourself and the rest of the world. Everyone says that at the end of the day, it’s all about love right? So sharing that gift can actually be a greater gift than any Valentines chocolate, teddy bear, or rose. But, who are we kidding, let’s have it all! Happy Valentines Day to all you beautiful puzzle pieces out there!
