100% Certain


One certainty in life for everyone is purpose.  There are so many out there with the attitude that they do not matter or have not real purpose.  That, my friends, is nothing but a large load of crap.  We are not just floundering around on this big rig taking up space.  We are here for a reason, and we all make a difference.

One thing I continue to learn about purpose is that it is ever changing.  One day my purpose is helping a client solve some issue related to their project.  Other times it is listening to someone going through a challenging time in life, or maybe just sending a “Happy Thursday” message to someone. 

Rather than wondering about my purpose, I shifted my thinking to knowing I have purpose.  I just stopped looking so hard to find “it.”  When I changed my thinking from wondering to knowing, everything around me changed.  I get up and go out in the world each day knowing I have purpose and will do something during the day that makes a difference in some way. 

Life gets us down sometimes where we wonder what we are doing here.  Rather than spend time wondering, change your thinking to, “I’m 100% certain I have purpose and will make a difference in the world today.”  That’s what prompted my three daily tasks I have listed on the back of my book.

  1. Make a Difference in Someone’s Life.  It can be something as simple as a smile, a hug, a kind word, a handshake, or a hand out.
  2. Learn at Least One New Thing.  Life presents so many opportunities to learn.  Just keep your eyes open and listen.
  3. Meet at Least One New Person.  Say hello to a stranger.  You never know what you will learn from a chance encounter.
