I Love Little People Because They Have So Much Potential To Grow!

Give me your little people, yeah, be sure and give me your invisible people! I am counting on all of you, “who got it together” folks, to pass the word around to the “little people”, that Jack cares. You guessed it. I am Jack.

What am I writing about? Specifically, I am “aiming” at everyone who feels like a “dork”. You know what I am referring to? People that have such low opinions of themselves, that they simply can’t relate to any of this “Be all you can" stuff. I know what I am talking about.

I used to be "one of them".When I was a young man, I had some big shots in world wide corporations, tell me I was very smart. What was my reaction? I thought they were nuts!I didn't believe a word they said. It took me 1,000 years (maybe not quite a 1,000) before I finally sensed the idea that maybe, I really had something on the ball.

You might as well tell these people to book a flight to Hollywood, California and present themselves to the “Oscars Presentation” and receive there trophies. It’s nuts, right? You know exactly who and what I am discussing. Maybe you were once this “type” of person. How or when you got off this Blindsman Bluff routine is of no interest to me right now. I want the little people to pay attention to what I am going to say.

99% of these guys and gals got sentenced as little people, when they were children. For whatever reasons, parental, environment, etc., these good folks decided that they “didn’t really matter” in the grand scheme of things.

So, Mr. Ego and Mr. Fear conned them into believing the best way to get along is to go along. However, In order to really be safe, they should stay in the “background of life” and shutup about their own needs and wants. I mean, like who the heck do they think they are? For goodness, sake, they are the “little people”. They simply don’t matter or count.

What’s really interesting, is to take a gander of these “little people” when they are all grown up. Like when they are parents themselves and have taken on adult responsibilities. Most of them are pretty good parents and providers for their families. Well, maybe not all. God knows, if you or I carried around the same “ negative baggage”that these people do, I doubt we could do as well.

This entire business about the “little people” actually breaks my heart. Let me put it to you like this, do you remember Barbarro, the fantastic race horse, that broke down during the Preakness last year? I mean, the entire country was down on its knees praying for the recovery of this gorgeous thoroughbred. And then, unfortunately, the veterinarian eventually had to put Barbaro down.

Here was this fantastic creature, that was treated as a little god, ever since he was a colt. I am sure, and I will swear to it, that Barbaro actually thought and believed he was Alexander the Great reincarnated! This horse lived and breathed greatness. Why? Well, for one reason, his mom and dad were pretty hot stuff themselves, and they passed on to him those race horse champion genes. I love that genetic pool!

The other big reason Barbaro was destined for Greatness, was because Everybody treated him and expected him to be one of the Greatest Race Horses on earth. Like, “I am getting good carrots all the time, because I am Great”! “Look out world”.

Lets get back to my “little people”. Ok? Unlike Barbaro, most of these people will go thru life by the numbers, until eventually, they will just fade away. The thing that absolutely, tears me up, is most of them really never have known the joy and happiness that most normal folks experience.

I mean, I know you can relate with me here…I am sure there have been a few occasions in your life where you have honestly told your self- “I am wonderful. I know something great is going to happen to me!” “I feel joy and optimism and I am glad I am alive”.

Well of course, anyone can tell by looking at you, that you are going to do just great in this life. You carry yourself with good posture. You make a good first impression. Gee whiz Mary Lou, you even smell great! “I love that perfume. What is it?” I can tell by looking at you, that you celebrate life. You even carry a little twinkle in your eye. I love it!

I don’t get any of the above good stuff from the little people. The tragedy is, if anybody deserves to have great things happen to them, it’s the little people. Why?

Because, most of them have hearts of gold. They would give you the shirt off their back. What you see is what you get with these folks. No superficiality or subterfuge. They will tell you like it is. You may not like what you hear, but that is just too bad. Office politics? Forget about it. They don’t play the game.

Depending on your outlook on life…one could call this group the community of the damed. But hey, who really is to judge. We can’t all be sophisticated hucksters. Then again, maybe, I am taking the short range view of things?

Goodness knows, the little people really have history on their side. Well, think about it. I can think of two historical Spiritual Giants, dealing with Life and people, who said the little people were the salt of the earth! Now that is saying something. I am talking about Buddah and Jesus Christ. Both of these Spiritual Leaders had lots of good things to say about the humble, downtrodden and poor.

Inherit the earth? Gee whiz Corpus Christie, if I recall, these little people are suppose to get a huge inheritance? Something to the effect, that they are going to inherit the earth. And, better yet, the little people have some wonderful things waiting for them in the “next world”, if you give credence to spiritual prophesy.

No sir, no mam, you really don’t want to sell these folks short. Be very careful here. Watch out. Mr. & Mrs. Little People, could end up fooling the gosh almighty out of all of us. What am I talking about?

If we are looking towards the future and its possibilities, well, anything can happen! Who knows, maybe some gutsy and very intuitive individual, just might recognize under that humble and very mundane exterior of a human being, lies a potential sleeping Giant.

Yeah, an honest to goodness talented, smart and magnanimous person who has the potential to be King of his Universe. Holy smoke, maybe he is another Barbaro. God bless the Late Bloomers. (see link)

Late Bloomers!

Don’t laugh. It can happen you know. Those of you who a have a few years on you, I am sure you have seen it happen. You know what I mean, “that’s the last guy or gal I’d expect to end up being so dog gone successful”. I am not just talking about material success. If he or she is lucky, success will be relegated to whatever brings them true happiness. Hoorah for the little people!But back to the point I am trying to make, maybe somebody that pretty much has it together, recognizes the potential growth of one of these little people has inside them. And, for conversation sake, let's say this Big Person, decides to commit to this little person, a strong hand of encouragement and nurturing. Holy smoke, can you image what miracles could evolve?

And, if Mr. Big Person, sticks with the mentoring of his new found friend, guess what? With lots of patience and genuine wisdom and encouragement, Mr. Little Person transitions into a Giant. Yes! And, with all of the Bells and Whistles that go with it. The only down side to this story is, the very gutsy and courageous mentor, is now so happy and excited for the well being of his favorite friend, that he might have a heart attack!

Really, no worries now for Mr. Mentor… What goes around comes around.

You guessed it...give to get!
