BEHIND THE SCENES

As humans we are social beings…to connect with one another,
to cooperate and interact is how we’re orchestrated…
This is not by accident…it’s how and why we were created.

In fact each year as the Earth completes another revolution
our ability to socialize is essential to our physical health, our mental well-being
and to our successful evolution

It is in our destiny that any success we have obtained 
has not been acquired on our own…
We are created to work together…not to stand alone.

Which means no matter how smart we are..
how strong and resilient are our genes…
We are all somewhat dependent on the people behind the scenes.

Those people who support and encourage us…who help us to succeed
by providing us, from behind the scene, everything we need.

What makes this relationship so wonderful…
is how those we help succeed..
when it’s our turn to succeed
are now the ones behind the scene 
providing us…everything we need.

So a shout out to everyone who has worked diligently 
behind the scenes…to help another person reach the stars…
and in case we do not say it often enough…
Thank you…and we know who you are.

the quiet force of humility and the positives of not needing to be recognized :-)
