Unity

Definition: the state of being one, or united

Tell me, what can you accomplish on your own without help from others?  Did it give you a sense of purpose?  Was it easy? It seems to me that a lot of the struggles in life are because we are out of sync with those around us.  I don’t mean the world as a whole, but those we love and work with.  We exert a lot of effort by trying to swim upstream.

Lately my wife has been spending a lot of time ushering the kids to various activities.  We live about a half hour drive from anywhere, so it is a hour round trip to drop them off and a hour round trip to pick them up.  While these activities are good, it means less time for us to spend with each other.  It is then easier for me to gripe about the time spent away, not enter in to what is the flow of the household at this time and complain.  Or, maybe I could stop trying to go against the flow and figure a way to create a win-win solution.  Why Don’t I go with?  That is a novel concept!  We can spend time with each other, she does not get burnt out and unity is restored into the house.

I know it may sound simple, but unity is a multiplier of all good things.  More accomplished, more satisfaction and less effort.  I love this effect!  So, may you become more unified with those around you today!
