Being there

What gifts can you offer that no one else is able to duplicate? You can give your time, your presence, your attention.

In what way do you express how much you care? By being there, by listening, and doing your best to understand.

All the treasures in the world cannot equal the magic of human connection. Create more of it, personally, honestly, genuinely, and lots of lives will benefit, including your own.

It doesn’t take much, and at the same time it does take everything. You must be there, be real, be interested and involved.

It’s a superpower you bring to any situation. It’s an experience that enriches the lives of those involved.

So many times what matters most is being there. Because you can, because you care, because it makes more of a difference than almost anything else, be there.

— Ralph Marston
