Isn't it nice to be needed? You get a warm feeling inside when your child needs you for something. Or your boss calls you in asks you to work on a project requiring your expertise. Expertise, just the word implies you are special.
Using the concept of the village each member of the community is an expert in something. This is as true in life as it is at work. Obviously there is some overlapping knowledge, but each community member brings something to the table.
Today's phrase is less for me an affirmation of attitude, and more a question to myself. Ask yourself if you are holding on to your expertise. Keeping it to yourself for one reason or another. Your community needs you. They may not know how to show you that, or maybe your skills are needed at a neighboring community.
The point is contribute. In small and large ways. Make a donation, help where you see a need, clean up even though you didn't make the mess. The opportunities are endless.
My village has a few neighborhoods.
My work neighborhood needs a lot of facilitation, so that is what I do. There is more to it, but you can boil my expertise down to bringing people together to facilitate getting to a goal. Do I feel pigeon holed?Sometimes but it's my skill and I try to be very good at it.
My family is diverse, but my role is pretty clear, care giver. Sick, support, whatever call and we will be there. It has different levels depending on the need but it's what we do. Plus I like to do it.
Helping your family is the right thing to do. No matter how you feel about any of them, they are your village and they need you.
My friendship neighborhood can blend the lines of the other two neighborhoods, but mostly I just try to be what they need when they need it.
Really thinking about other people's needs and working to help them will enhance your life.
Your village needs you, go see what you can do to help.
