What pops into your mind when you read a title such as “Magical Moments”? It makes me think of an oldie “This Magic Moment” sung by the Drifters. It is a cheery, upbeat tune about how magical love can be.
The idea of magical moments was recently introduced to me through a business book recommendation. The title is something along the lines of The Magic of Moments and talks about creating special moments for your customers.
This whole idea got me to thinking. Yes, I certainly want to provide my customers with magical experiences. But why stop there? I find that so much of business training can be applied to life and vice versa!
Finding Your Magic
What do you think of magical moments? Now obviously, magic itself isn’t real, but we’re more talking of the thrill of something remarkable and outstanding! I think we all want to experience things like that! The fascinating thing is that we do, probably more than we realize, we just have to have the eyes to see these moments!
As I considered this idea, I came up with several specific scenarios of what I would label magical moments.
Several years back, the construction company I work for was getting rid of one of their small office buildings and I was told I could renovate it to create a studio for myself! Pure magic! I was elated and set to work changing this little building from a bare-bones construction office to a pretty boutique studio. I painted every inch of plywood and changed out the lighting. Such a difference – and such a delight to have a designated spot for my work!
Another particular moment stands out to me, but it is a bit difficult to articulate. I had an incredible epiphany that I needed to make some changes in my life. I was letting life happen to me, being passive, when I needed to step up in faith, to be more bold and actively involved in shaping my reality. To me, this turning point was truly magical!
What are some of your magical moments? Was it when a remarkable opportunity was dropped in your lap? Or perhaps the realization of an astronomical goal? We all have wonderful moments and we need to acknowledge them!
Why is finding the magic important?
Put simply, it inspires gratitude! All too often we look at others lives and opportunities, see their wins and overlook our own. But when we look for the magical moments in our lives, we realize just how much we have been blessed and can develop a new sense of gratitude!
God blesses the people who serve Him well. Give your best, have a grateful heart, and do your work unto the Lord. He will bless you above and beyond what you can imagine!
Until Next Time!
Hope.
