When a storm is coming, all other birds seek shelter. The eagle alone avoids the storm by flying above it. So, in the storms of life may your heart be like an eagle’s and soar above.” – Author Unknown

A Fast Pass for Life

Everyone needs a “fast pass” now and then to get through life. Here is how to get this valuable item

Recently my husband and I went to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.  After we checked in, we walked to the concierge office to get our Epcot tickets for the next day.

My husband waited outside while I purchased our tickets, An employee walked by and started chatting with him.  When I exited the office, the employee was telling my husband about her family.  One of her children has two issues that cause him to need extra help to survive childhood.

Knowing I had dealt with these issues in my classroom, he suggested I give the employee one of my business cards, and she gave me one of hers in return.  I told her some of the strategies I used in my classroom to help children with issues similar to her son’s.

That night I worked on my husband’s computer for a few hours before going to bed. Forty individual updates took up to twenty-five minutes each to install.

Because I wanted to do something while waiting, I found resources for the woman we’d met earlier and emailed them to her.

Of course, I expected nothing in return.

The next day, I was sitting outside one of the most popular Epcot attractions, “Soarin’”, when my cell phone rang.  It was the woman I had emailed the night before.  She thanked me and told me she had added three more fast passes to our account, and we could use them anytime.  I thanked her and told my husband.

Since we were only visiting Epcot one day, each fast pass she added to our account made a huge difference.  We were able to enjoy each one of the most popular Epcot attractions without standing in line, even though we were there on a holiday.

Even though I never expect anything in return when I do something for others, often they give me a fast pass for my life.  And every fast pass I get improves my life.

Life is too short, and each one of us needs as many fast passes as possible!
