Wishadoo has had a great impact on me. No, I have not sought help from Wishadoo or posted a need. What I have received from Wishadoo is something greater. It has made me realize I am not here alone, that others go through hard times and WE ALL have it in our capabilities to help each other. Those that saw my recent post know I went through a horrific job search. One of, at times feeling worthless and forgotten. I could never have been more wrong. Via Wishadoo, I was connected with people that needed help, help with things I take for granted. Whether it was moving furniture, transporting loved ones of people that could not, and helping remove debris, I was capable of doing it. I did these things through answering my fellow humans' call for help. I helped them, but the unforeseen aspect of it is that in the end, I was the one that received the most.
It restored my hope, my sense of usefulness, and my realization that I do not have it as bad as many others do. We can all help each other in one way or another and helping only comes back to us many times over if we really look at it. Yes, Wishadoo has shown me the unseen good we as people can uncover in ourselves by helping others. The "unseen good" that helped me push forward, feel I have some value, and helped me be persistent in my quest for work.
I help every chance I get. I get nothing monetarily for it, no accolades, I simply get that feeling inside of warmth and satisfaction in knowing I have had a positive effect on another's' life. Yes, the "unseen good" that will grow inside of you once it hits you, when you act with compassion.
I love the "Compassion Revolution" you are pursuing. It is perfect because I always thought I was compassionate but realized there is a big difference in showing and feeling compassion and actually putting it into action. It is so much deeper when you act on that compassion. Hopefully this "Compassion Revolution" will help people see that words are one thing but actions are so much more. To use an old cliché, Actions speak louder than words.
Thank you for Wishadoo, it has changed me. I will be following and taking part in the "Compassion Revolution".
