Ok i'm sure you're thinking "what the world is she talking about? How do those even relate to each other?!"
Strangely enough they all fit together in similar ways and I'll tell you how.
Those three things go together because these are all analogies for how you impact another persons life. You impact everybody you come across in some way, no matter what. You are a puzzle piece out of their giant puzzle of life, you leave a footprint in their lives as you pass through, and you may be that spare tire they needed when they had a flat on this road trip we call life. .
When you look at it that way, everybody we come in contact with we impact even in just a tiny way. You can be a piece in the dark part of somebody's puzzle or a part of the good spot.. You can leave a bad uneven footprint in somebody's life or you can leave a soft elegant footprint (you know, the ones you always see in pictures.. That are never like the ones you try to make in the sand) and last but not least my favorite analogy.. You can be an old flat spare tire that is there but no benefit at all (like those little donut tires), or you can be a full spare tire ready to help in the time of need.
The reason I like that analogy the most. Is because I have been driving A LOT lately and one day on my many trips it clicked.. Life is like a giant road trip. You have a starting point and a finish point and many miles and obstacles and pit stops and fill ups in between...
Everybody is on a road trip called life, and nobody's starting points, paths, or destinations are the same.. But your paths may cross..
Take a minute and think about your road trip called life and who has been there to be a pot hole or a flat tire and who has been there to be the gas pump that fills you up or the spare tire in your time of need...
Which do you want to be in the lives of others? Think about it.
