“Be the sun, not the salt.”
A few days ago, I came across a book by an author I had once virtually crossed paths with.
I was intrigued by the title, the metaphor of the opening page.
A part of me couldn’t wait to see what was inside.
I picked up the book and made my way through the opening chapter.
Half way through, I couldn’t help but think about the author’s message.
Are you the sun or the salt?
I immediately thought of the times throughout my life when I was the sun or the salt or a bit of both.
The times when I provided nourishment, encouraged growth.
The times when I put others down, made them feel less than.
Harry Cohen’s book reminded of an important life principal, the power of choice.
A choice I often times forgotten.
I get to choose whether I am the sun or the salt in any given situation.
Simple, yet powerful 🙏
