YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I’ve been focusing on the highlight of the day. Really focusing. It’s what I’m curious about. You might think that you are being in denial. Don’t worry..you’re not. Our mind tends to go to some these dark places naturally. So that’s why the highlight is such a great focus.
It’s focusing on where you want to go and what you want to create. Certainly that’s the type of focus that Greg Mortenson in 3 Cups of Tea had. He was committed. He made many personal sacrifices including risking his life to fulfill his promise to build the schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Once you read the book you’ll see he didn’t have a choice.
Greg had a higher purpose. We need to keep asking ourselves what our higher purpose is? I shared with you that recently I took a workshop and our focus was on what our “deepest intent” is.
In many ways I think of my deepest intent in the same way as my life purpose. My deepest intent is to inspire others to believe in themselves. Once I was able to clarify this for myself, it became alive. I have a greater sense of what I’m about and why I do what I do. I don’t know if I am committed as Greg Mortenson, but I have moved up on the scale. I know I make a difference in the lives of others and so do you.
Think about your life. Whose life do you make a difference in? Acknowledge yourself for you being you.
