Possessed With Action

Possessed With Action

If I can give you any piece of advice it is this. Find inspiring friends. And if you’re able be an inspiring friend.

I met up with an old friend of mine, who I will call Scarab because no one, including them, remembers they ever used that moniker to obscure their identity.

Scarab has had it pretty rough of late, mounting debts, difficulty with their business and today I learn they may very well be evicted from their establishment.

Many people would be devastated by this, years past, maybe even month’s past Scarab would have been little more than a ball of woes, paralyzed by the difficulties coming their way.

Not now, however. They did not see the looming problems before them as an insurmountable weight to crush them into the ground but as a challenge they could, no, would overcome. They put together a plan, martialed their resources and immediately set about taking the actions that would see them out of their current troubles.

They seemed “possessed by action.”. And that, to me, is inspiring. It’s not just knowing that people like Scarab exist, it’s knowing that I know people like Scarab. And they aren’t the only one of my friends and associates like this. It inspires me to know I am surrounded by people who are driven even when life is at its most difficult. And I pray their are people like that in your life who can inspire you, or better that you can be that person for others.

I hope my little story of Scarab has helped you in some small way, I hope Scarab triumphs over his coming adversity and most of all I hope that you can look to your friends and see people that inspire you. The world can be a difficult and terrible place and its the quality of the people around us that make it a better place to be in.

Thank you my dear readers and God bless;
