Reaching Out is Great

Reaching out, and getting in touch with people is very satisfying. It is one of the most rewarding experiences we humans enjoy. The idea of reaching out is very simple. Reach out, not for a reason, just talk, say "Hi", send a nice short message, just be there with people and for them. It does not have to be for a cause or for a benefit. It is a very inspiring exercise. Few days ago, I was on the Highway sitting next to my friend who was driving. We were passing a car and a little girl was sitting in her seat in the back looking around with an incredible smile. I smiled back at her. She waved to me. I waved back to her. She started to laugh. Her smile and her laugh were shining and made me smile and laugh. She is spontaneous and powerful, and it is very hard not to get attracted to her. This is reaching out. She is reaching out to everybody and she is also making a difference in the lives of the people around her. For the rest of the journey I kept doing the same as she did. People were smiling back, waving, and saying 'Hi'. It was a fantastic experience. I am so honored to have this beautiful, little girl as my coach in reaching out actively and not to be worried how I look. Ahmed Eldemellawy

I am reaching out .. Hi my world

These days I am going through emotional bouts. I miss my kids, all of them. They are growing and they are changing. I know and I believe that the easiest way to have them in my life is to accept them how they are and not to fix them. As a father, it is very difficult not TO FIX my kids. I am always tempted to do so. In the meantime I am grilled by their lack of attention to me. When I look at myself, I am not the best son regarding my communication with my parents. I love my parents so much but I was never the best communicator I can be. So I do not blame my kids for not being good communicators as I am not a good example myself. I love my parents so much, but I am not sure if I properly show that or not. That is exactly what I am receiving from my kids too. I am on a roller coaster of power and satisfaction to bottoms of desperation and boredom. When I am at the top, I always have the initiative and I feel great. When I am at the bottom of my life rollercoaster, I am always waiting for attention and care which is very poor and inconsistent.

I chose to write today to communicate with you and with the whole world. What I am communicating is of no value, it is the communication and living the being of a human. Isolating myself within my body and not crossing the gaps to you, all of you, including my kids is a major disservice to me. Communicating with you, all of you is part of being alive and it is living my role as a member of this huge community called the world.

I started to blog a while ago, almost a year now. Frequency of my articles was always inconsistent as I was always waiting for what is right to write, so that I add to you, To Fix You, my world community and To LOOK good.

I have just figured it out today that writing to you what I am going through is of a great value for all of us. It entrenches my position as a member of our fantastic world community that we are all responsible for. Regardless of how I look it also empowers me to live happily and experience positive emotions.

English is my second language, so feel free if you want to comment on my ideas, spelling or grammar mistakes. Our communication is my purpose, and living together happily is my goal.

See you around or online
