How to create an empowering echo in your life and in your work
I was reading an ebook by Dan Kuschell where he shares a poem his wife shared with him.
I’d like to share it with you as we start the week, as it offers a powerful message about what our life is trying to teach us, if we only pay attention and make deliberate adjustments so that we hear back from it what we want.
I hope the poem is as inspiring to you as it is to me. The title and author is unknown.
A son and his father were walking on the mountains.
Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams, “Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
To his surprise he hears the voice repeating somewhere in the mountain,
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
Curious he yells, “Who are you?”
He receives the answer, “Who are you?”
And then he screams, “I admire you.”
The voice answers, “I admire you.”
Angered at the response he screams, “Coward.”
He receives the answer, “Coward.”
He looks at his father confused and asks, “What’s going on?”
The father smiles and says, “My son, pay attention.”
The father screams, “You are a Champion.”
The voice answers, “You are a Champion.”
The boy is surprised and does not understand.
Then the father explains, “People call this ECHO, but really this is life.”
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything in all aspects of life.
Life will give you back everything you have given to it.
Your life is not a coincidence. It is a reflection of you!
What’s the echo in your life and in your business reflecting back to you?
What, if anything, would you rather hear echoed back?
What is one small step you can take TODAY to initiate your new, empowering echo?
