Have you heard the expression, âHurt People Hurt Peopleâ? It has been said over and over again. But what about âMoved People Move Peopleâ? This was a new one to me. I was first introduced to the this saying and idea at an UnleashU Now Menâs Retreat in the Fall of 2021. It really stuck with me and has helped guide me since. And now, I am excited to share it with you.
So first up, what do you think about it ? Seriously, I would love to know your thoughts about this quote. Send me a message on Social media (IG or FB at @Jonesinfor) or send me an email. Now this menâs retreat wasnât about being macho or one upping one another. It was about how can we truly be men. What does it look like, what does it mean. And this saying was shared there. âMoved People Move Peopleâ Iâm not talking about physical movement; this isnât getting shoved or moving from one city to another. This is movement in your soul. To make an impact on your life you need to feel enriched, enhanced, and energized, and you need to feel moved before you can move others.
I hope that the Jonesinâ for Show and our Daily Energize podcasts move you and they make you excited to do the work in your life to improve different things. When you are moved you feel a flare of energy and when you act on it you get the chance to move other people. Say youâre working at a drive through and youâre just going through the motions, youâre not doing anything special, youâre just there. You could be a drive through worker that moves people because you are satisfying the needs of someone else. You can do it with energy and excitement and make the other peopleâs days better even if itâs just a little. Some people wonât appreciate it, and thatâs ok! Itâs still moving you! When you smile and share your excitement in that drive through, you give some of that energy to the people who appreciate it, you move them! Now those people will go on to the rest of their day and they can move other people.
Itâs time to take action. Maybe thereâs a cause that really moves you such as climate change or a beach clean-up. Take action to change it and get working on making it better. When people hear you start to clean-up the trash or talk about whatever it is youâre passionate about, more people will want to help. Then those people will talk about it and more people will come to help. Movements happen because people who are moved move more people.
Find things that move you! Do things to help and share it with others! It can be anything! If thereâs an experience youâve had that you donât (or do) want other people to have, talk about it to people! Share your stories. Will you join me in finding a movement that means something to you? âMoved people move people.â
