Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

This is really good (to someone on some day). And I don’t know who that someone is or when that day is.

This blog post is really good. I felt great when I wrote it. The words flew through my fingers onto the screen and to the Internet. Wow! People will love it.

Blah, blah, blah.

Someone will love this post. They will print it, frame it, and put it on their desk so they see it everyday. It will be the most important thing they read on this day.

My trouble is I don’t know who that someone is. I also don’t know what day this day will be.

I have spoken to hundred of people on dozens of occasions. Some fell asleep. Now and then, someone came to me later and told me how what I said changed their life. The part of my presentation that changed their life was an afterthought that I don’t even remember saying.

I don’t know what “is really good” to some person on some day. I do what I can. I think of things that I think are good and helpful. I spread those things. That is what I can do. The rest is not up to me. Let’s do more spreading of what we think are good and helpful. And then let’s see what happens.
