This morning, I read this quote for the very first time. It is from the book:
The Butterfly Effect ~ by Andy Andrews.
This inspired me, filled with spirit.
Like many of you, I have long wondered what my purpose in life is. What am I to do or share that could possibly, positively, affect my family, my friends, co-workers and even the world? What special talent do I possess? What gift do I have to share? And then, in Andy's few simple words it all became radiantly clear.
Life is my purpose!
Every moment, every breath, thought and action are my purpose, my gift. Each equally important for me and those with whom I share this world, for the generations to come.
In just the last 30 minutes, since reading this quote, I have accomplished several mundane tasks, things that normally fulfill my identity of Chief Procrastinator. But that was changed, like turning on a light, instant illumination. Each task was performed with love and thoughts of how it affects my wife and our relationship, how that affects our children, our friends and now you.
I almost did not write this 'Rambling'. Doubt was creeping in, as it often does. Should I share and expose my feelings, my thoughts.
Now I have my answer.
Of course.
This, and every choice I make, is my purpose, my Permanent Purpose.
I, for one, will now choose more wisely. For I now know that every choice matters, for all of us.
Here now flutter the gentle murmur of the butterflies' wings, from my purpose to yours.

What will be your choices today, tomorrow...?
What will you share with all of us?
What will your purpose mean, for the world?

I love this rambling! I am always second guessing myself! It makes me think of how much time I waste by contemplating my future. I have always been so afraid to make "the executive" decision, that I would often not make a decision at all! Thus far, this has not helped me in life at all! Susan Layne
ReplyDeleteThe best advice I've heard is: Put your energy into making the decision, waste none on second thoughts. Make your life a statement, not an apology. Not making a decision is a decision to leave things as they are. Ask youself, Is that what I truly want?
