Nobody Cares

I was helping a friend move into a new home recently when he lamented that "nobody cares". I asked what he meant. His reply: "I have asked friends and family to help us move, but everyone is so busy. It's as though they could care less what we do."

It got me thinking about my own situation. In the past two years, I have launched numerous new projects, hoping, as all entrepreneurs do, to get a positive response. But for most of those projects, not only did I not get a positive response - I got no response at all.

Many of us today are asking the question "What is the point?" We work hard, try new things - and, for what? The world responds with indifference.

And that, according to the Pope, is the problem.

In the words of Pope Francis, in a recent interview with 60 Minutes: "Please, we have to get our hearts to feel again. We cannot remain indifferent in the face of such human dramas. The globalization of indifference is a very ugly disease."

And then the Pope repeated himself: "Very ugly".

He was, of course, talking about the wars taking place on this planet and the human indifference to it all.

I believe that indifference is the cause for much of the depression and anxiety that exists today.

But the deeper question here is: why? Why are so many indifferent?

Many experts point to an obsession with selfishness, spending hour upon hour in front of computer screens and engaging in narcisstic social media posting.

I think it's more than that.

Overwhelmed by world events, we withdraw to our own little sphere of influence. We feel that we cannot do anything about what is hapening out there, so we use what little control we do have to exert change in our personal lives - often, at the expense of showing any kind of empathy towards friends, family and strangers who may be in need.

Maybe it's a kind of self-protection - to shield ourselves against the outer world of chaos.

Within my network of people are a few who are unbelievably kind and supportive. Far from "indifferent", they take an active interest in the lives of others, offering encouragement without judgement.

These people are rare.

Others have taken note of their generosity because of that rarity. And it's made these special people not only popular but highly influential.

Their support is genuine with no hidden agenda - not fake as is the case with most of the advertising and corporate lies we are subjected to each day.

Most of us can spot a BS'er from a mile away. But we can also spot those gems of society who are authentic.

And so - who cares?

You do.

And who will reap the benefits of that caring? Certainly those you support, but certainly also - you will benefit - from having a renewed purpose in this life that matters.

"So many people feel stuck in their lives. They live in a world they don't fully understand. Maybe they were born into a life in which others were rich and they were poor, or others were tall or smart or physically gifted and they were the opposite of those things — and no one explained to them that while there are some circumstances you can't change, there are others that you can change by being curious and by being a sponge, and then using the knowledge you gain to craft a vision for yourself." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

A lot of people are silently hurting these days. They've become actors. Looking and sounding normal but experiencing emotional pain on the inside. A warm smile from you, or a simple encouraging word, can make all the difference. You have that power. It's free. And badly needed. More than ever. Even if you, yourself, are troubled, you can make a difference to someone else. And ultimately, that will benefit you, as you discover your purpose and self-worth.

LESSONS IN LIFE:

In 1982, he was paralyzed from a serious car accident. But Harry Wayne Casey survived, re-learning how to walk, dance and play the piano. Today, Casey is not a household name. But the musical group he created – KC and the Sunshine Band – was famous the world over during the height of the disco era. In fact, the band is often credited for launching the disco dance moves of the 1970s. Casey created a monster hit.

But he wasn’t happy. “I couldn’t go anywhere.” explained Casey in a 2015 interview with the Huffington Post. Fame, it seems, isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. In fact, Casey explained: “It was the loneliest time of my life. I just wanted out.” Millions of fans loved KC and the Sunshine band. They loved the music. They loved how they could dance to the music. But they didn’t love Casey. They didn’t even know him. And he knew it. It made Casey feel – believe it or not – unloved.

But now, at age 72, Casey looks back and has a different view of things. In his words, “It has taken me over 40 years to understand who Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band is. I know that my music has brought a lot of enjoyment to a lot of people. My purpose was to bring joy into people’s lives.”

It’s a bit like that with us too. Every day, we struggle with our jobs and personal lives. Often, I wonder why I bother working so hard. To what end? But we need to see things with a wider lens.
I realize, for example, that I have helped create a better world for my family, friends and those who work with me. While we may not know it, because of life’s busyness – we are, in fact, making a difference. Take time this week to consider all that you’ve created.

Harry Wayne Casey has.

SKYWARD TV ON AMAZON: Skyward TV is now on Amazon Fire TV. All our interviews and documentaries about spirituality and mental health can be seen and heard on your TV set, 24/7. What exactly is Amazon Fire TV? It's simply a video streaming device created by Amazon that connects to a TV and allows you to watch streaming digital channels that include Netflix, Amazon Prime and many other services like our new Skyward TV. Some people think Amazon Fire TV and Amazon prime are the same thing. They're not. Prime is Amazon's digital streaming channel, but Fire TV is just the little device that plugs into your TV set and works with a small, special remote. Amazon also has entire TV sets that work with their "Fire" service, so in those cases, you don't need a device. But the majority of people don't own an Amazon smart TV, so they need to purchase the device which costs as little as around $50. The device is often referred to as a "stick" because it's a small USB-style device that just plugs into your TV set's HDMI port. If you're interested in getting Amazon Fire TV and also watching our Skyward TV channel, here are the steps.

1. Go to the Amazon website and search for "Amazon Fire TV"
2. You will see a number of Amazon smart TV sets displayed, but you'll also see the sticks for sale. Purchase a stick.
3. When your Amazon Fire TV stick arrives, install it onto your TV.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts.
5. Once Amazon Fire TV is installed, you can now install Skyward TV.
6. In the Amazon Fire TV search box, type "Skyward TV"
7. When our channel logo shows up under "Apps and Games", proceed to install.

You can see Skyward TV listed on the Amazon website here:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C7YT1GHD/ref=sr_1_1

If you don't want to bother with Amazon Fire TV, you can watch Skyward TV on the web at this address: https://skywardtv.com
