Why are you here?
Not where are you.
Not what are you doing.
But why are you here at all?
Perhaps the greatest adventure of life is discovering the answer.
If we unravel the mystery of who we are, why we are, and what we are supposed to be doing on the grander scales of life, life becomes deeper, richer, and more rewarding.
Most people do not begin life knowing their purpose.
Life reveals it.
One experience at a time.
One lesson at a time.
One opportunity at a time.
The question is whether we are paying attention.
BECOME AWARE
As we move through life, we expose ourselves to events, opportunities, relationships, and interests looking for something that clicks.
Something captures our attention.
Something causes us to pause.
Often that pause becomes a reflection.
That reflection becomes an insight.
And that insight becomes a new direction.
Pay attention to those moments.
CONNECTING THE DOTS
Before we discover where we belong, life is busy preparing us for it.
Character is being built.
Wisdom is being earned.
Perspective is being formed.
The molding of the person takes place before the revealing of the purpose.
Many people want the destination without the preparation.
Life does not work that way.
The person must become ready for the purpose.
WHERE’S THE LOVE?
A degree is valuable.
A profession is valuable.
Skills are valuable.
But if the person wielding them lacks heart, something is missing.
Have you ever met someone who performed a task perfectly but left no positive impression?
Then compare that to the person who genuinely cared.
The difference is unforgettable.
Life is a love-driven event.
SOMETHING GREATER AT WORK
The opposite is also true.
When someone discovers their purpose and brings heart into what they do, everything changes.
The janitor.
The bus driver.
The teacher.
The nurse.
The business owner.
The parent.
The friend.
The title matters less than the spirit behind it.
People remember how you made them feel.
WHAT LOOKS ATTRACTIVE ON A HUMAN BEING?
Humility.
Respect.
Calmness.
Honesty.
Kindness.
These qualities never go out of style.
WHAT DOESN’T?
Pride.
Impatience.
Dishonesty.
Selfishness.
Arrogance.
The soul recognizes both immediately.
GIVE ME MARROW
To discover your purpose, you must be willing to go within.
Explore your depths.
Clean out the closets.
Remove what doesn’t belong.
Keep what strengthens you.
Growth is an inside job.
I SEE YOU
Whether we realize it or not, we are living advertisements for what we believe.
Our attitudes speak.
Our actions speak.
Our priorities speak.
The world sees what is driving us.
WHAT’S DRIVING YOU?
It is done to you as you believe.
Change your beliefs and the journey changes.
Change your perspective and new opportunities appear.
Continue doing what doesn’t work and life becomes unnecessarily difficult.
TREASURE WITHIN
There is wealth hidden within every human being.
Many spend their lives searching everywhere except the one place where the treasure actually exists.
Within.
Virtue.
Character.
Purpose.
Wisdom.
Love.
Those are the riches that never depreciate.
STOP TO START
Sometimes growth begins by stopping.
Stop what doesn’t work.
Stop what drains you.
Stop what leads nowhere.
When the wrong things leave, the right things often arrive naturally.
THE BLOOMING
Build a better person from the inside out.
The world responds differently to that person.
Opportunity responds differently.
Relationships respond differently.
Life itself responds differently.
THE PAYOFF
May everything that was placed within you be awakened.
May your gifts be activated.
May your purpose be revealed.
And may you discover exactly why your presence was requested here and now by the Company Maker.
Because you were not created by accident.
You were created on purpose, for a purpose.
— Richie
