I just recently saw a video on Youtube by TEDxToronto that I thought was great and really started me thinking. http://youtu.be/hVCBrkrFrBE?t=8s is the link and web address. If you see the 6 minute video, you will know what is meant by "lollipop moments".
It seems that we look to people who can do extraordinary things to lead us and change the world. What this man says that I find intriguing & like is that we need to change our definition of leading to one that leads by "lollipop moments". It is the "lollipop moments" that we do and probably have no memory of that makes a real difference in people lives.
My mind goes to four different areas every-time I hear this. The first thing I wonder is if I have ever done any "lollipop moments"for others. Has anyone been positively affected just by being around me. The second is how many times have I been beneficially affected by other "lollipop moments". Also, have I told them about it. The third is how if we love others then "lollipop moments" would flow naturally from us. The four thought is one that I believe that will happen sometime after I die. I believe that when I am in Heaven, that God at some point will come up and maybe put His arms around me and review all the "lollipop moments" in my life.
If we love then we do not have to worry about changing the world, our love will provide "lollipop moments" that will change a few and they will have "lollipop moments" that will change even more and all of this will go on until the world is changed.
