Being a human bridge

I recently read a good novel. It was given to me by some very good friends. The book gave me some nice hours of entertainment and I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

Whilst the book was full of educational tips and spiritual insights to Buddhism, I just read it as a good story with insightful life lessons.

A colleague at work was recently feeling a bit lost and looking for direction, so following a good chat about life and the universe, I offered her the book as a good read.

She took it and off she went.

A few weeks later she came to me all excited and told me how she had taken tons of notes and how it had really changed her life.

She had never felt so impacted by a book and the timing for her was just right. She was ready for the book, when the book found its way to her.

She went on to say she had bought it for her mum.

Now whilst I enjoyed the book, I didn't  have the same impact.

I was telling the person, who gave me the book about what had happened to my colleague and he said, well clearly your role here was to be "the bridge".

I had passed along the book to where it needed to go.

I liked this expression. Being a human bridge.

It made me think about the act of being or acting as a human bridge in every day life. When we bring and connect two people or two objects together. It made me think how important it is for us to play this role in life. How we often do this subconsciously, but what would happen if we were more conscious about this social role we could play?

So when were you last a human bridge for someone or something?

How did it feel playing this role?

So my challenge to you today, my loyal readers, is to go be a human bridge. Connect two things or two people.

Let us know how it goes?
