We see a large number on Friday’s Lottery and we stand in a line to buy a dream. We’re now even impressed when someone has five, or six or seven children. How many square feet is your new home? (although we rarely ask “how big is your mortgage?” even though we might think it) We use numbers to qualify who we are. How long did you stand in line for the release of...?
Rarely do we ask the important numbers though. How frequently do you stick to your goals? How big is your heart? When was the last time you picked up the phone to keep in touch with your Auntie?
So when we casually say how many comments we received on our blog, how many books we sold, how many new followers we got last week, what are we really asking? To be noticed? Admired? Do we need some attention?
Yes, we need to be counted. But let it be for our good deeds, our unexpected surprises, the number of times we cheered someone’s day. There will be no tweet or billboard about those things, unfortunately.
