There are lots of people today who are so desperate to be noticed, recognized and honored. Their lives are so noisy. The noise they make is bigger than the effect they produce. There are people who have more publicity than productivity. When I say this, I don’t intend to draw your attention to Politicians only, who most of the time fall under this bracket, but most often the common people too who are desperately trying to be loud in order to be recognized.
There are two basic things involved in a noisy life - the presentation of the life and the reality of the life. A life of noise is one in which the life is louder than reality
Some people have invited unnecessary hostility, enmity, and adversity because of the kind of attention they wanted to generate. You don’t have to actually. The commercial world may keep telling you to sell yourself effectively or may even warn you that you will not be remembered. But the point is, if you are genuine as a person, honest in all your dealings, clean in the way you do the business you will definitely be noticed and remembered too. You don’t have to blow a trumpet about who you are.
Don’t you forget that you are already a unique creation of God and blessed with unique talents and gifts. Let me remind you that there were 108 billion people who have lived throughout history. 93% of them are dead yet there are many whom we still remember because of the amount of impact they have created in history.
Jesus who made an immense impact in history by the way he was born and resurrected from the dead after the gruesome death he went through, makes a statement which is recorded in the Bible and it says, “You are the light of the world. A City situated on a hill cannot be hidden” and it further adds by saying, “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”.
More than the noise be a light to illuminate the life of someone. You will be remembered anyway.
