<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some time ago, I was invited out to a party after work. It seemed like a great idea at first\u2014that is, in the morning when I still had lots of energy. I was excited to catch up with friends and my mind wandered far past the present.<\/p>\n
Sin embargo, a medida que avanzaba el d\u00eda y se acumulaban las responsabilidades, me di cuenta de que me estaba quedando sin fuerzas. Al final de la jornada laboral, estaba totalmente agotada. Lo \u00faltimo que quer\u00eda hacer era prepararme para salir por la noche.<\/p>\n
As I headed to my car, at a turtle\u2019s pace I\u2019m sure, my phone rang. I honestly didn\u2019t even know if I would even have the energy to talk to my long-time friend who was likely just calling to chat. But I was already feeling like a horrible friend for wanting to ditch the evening\u2019s plans with others counting on me, so I sighed and picked up.<\/p>\n
Sure enough, we made small talk, catching up on gossip for the week. Then, I told her I was supposed to go to so-and-so\u2019s house that night but was super tired and had a terrible day at work. As I droned on, I peered down at a coffee stain on the front of my shirt, which I felt properly represented the entire day.<\/p>\n
When I had stopped complaining, she paused a moment, then responded, \u201cYou know, I\u2019ve found that when I really don\u2019t want to hang out \u2013 I\u2019m super tired and feel like going straight to bed \u2013 but I do, anyway, I end up having the best night. I feel totally re-energized when I step outside of my comfort zone and just go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Todos tenemos esos momentos cruciales en la vida, y todos hemos o\u00eddo cosas que se nos quedan grabadas.<\/b> The simplest of conversations can have a lasting impact, even if we don\u2019t realize it until much later. I wonder how many people have influenced others significantly without even realizing it.<\/p>\n
Como esa respuesta, por ejemplo. Simple, pero profunda. Se me qued\u00f3 grabada y me ha servido de base para tomar decisiones en muchas situaciones diferentes a lo largo de mi vida. Mi amigo no pod\u00eda imaginar en aquel momento que aquel empuj\u00f3n aparentemente trivial me cambiar\u00eda la vida.<\/p>\n
I went out despite the stain and had a memorable night, to be sure. And, like I said, her words stuck. Now, every time I make a commitment to someone or something and I don\u2019t feel like following through \u2013 maybe I\u2019ve had a long day, my energy is off, or I have none left at all \u2013 her voice reminds me to go. I drag myself out of my comfort zone and go, anyway.<\/p>\n
Truthfully, every time I\u2019ve followed this internal nudge, I\u2019ve had an amazing experience, created long-lasting memories, or transformed my life in a positive way.<\/b><\/p>\n
When I went through a divorce, her voice was stronger than ever. Every time I knew I had to make a difficult move, my inner critic would tell me I\u2019m not strong enough. I\u2019m not equipped with what it will take to follow through. I don\u2019t have the energy to deal with the consequences that would follow. But I ignored my inner critic, listened to her anyway, and did things that were absolutely essential to the ultimate outcome. If I hadn\u2019t listened, I don\u2019t know where I\u2019d be, but I\u2019m certain it would not be in a good place.<\/p>\n
We often take for granted the impact we have on others, and when we say things, we often take for granted that others are listening \u2013 <\/b>realmente <\/i><\/b>escuchando.<\/b> Words aren\u2019t always just words. And action, or lack of action, isn\u2019t always something that\u2019s easily forgotten. These things can stick with others for a long time to come.<\/p>\n
Never underestimate the impact you have on others. You don\u2019t have to be in an influential position, a parent or caregiver of some sort, an authoritative figure. You have the power to transform lives wherever you\u2019re at right now.<\/b> So, spread positivity, and motivate others with your words and actions. Someday, someone\u2019s going to realize you\u2019ve been their driving force all along, and that\u2019s a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n
