Lessons Learned From Helium Balloons
I thought wow I can show up the afternoon before The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards and set up the red balloons I had chosen to represent power. I was very happy when I left the church the balloons were flying high and I was ready for the next step. Saturday Morning I arrived at the church and the ballons had fallen from up on high to the floor. I though okay sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men go astray so what do I do? I used what was left of the helium to fill up a few ballons and then I just spread out some human air filled balloons around the room and continued to set up. As I continued to set up I began to realize the lessons being taught by the helium balloons:
1: You can plan and have expectations but sometimes things happen that you adjust to and it turn out better than expected
2: Always have a back up plan
3: Leave time the morning of the event to blow up the balloons so as to have your maximum impact
4: Don’t over react as things have a way of working out in the end.
People Are Like Helium Balloons
The Care Bears, a helium balloon float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade exemplifies people coming together for the common good of the community.
When a person is filled with the air of love and service they tend to fly high like a heliun balloon and as a result help people to float above the rest and stand out and make a positive impact on others. When you get enough people filled with love and service awesome impact is made. There were so many people who truy helped The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards Fly high.
