There are many important days in your life.
Birthdays.
Graduations.
Weddings.
Victories.
But there are two days that rise above all the rest.
THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT DAYS OF YOUR LIFE
Mark Twain is credited with saying:
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
Whether he said it or not, the wisdom remains.
Many people celebrate the first day.
Far fewer discover the second.
YOU WERE BORN FOR A REASON
The odds of you being here are beyond imagination.
Out of countless possibilities, here you are.
Breathing.
Thinking.
Choosing.
Creating.
Loving.
Learning.
You are not an accident wandering through the universe.
You are a possibility wrapped in skin and bone.
The Mystery Maker does not waste creation.
DISCOVERING YOUR WHY
Most people spend years asking:
“What should I do?”
A better question may be:
“Who am I becoming?”
Purpose is rarely discovered in a flash of lightning.
More often it is uncovered through living.
Serving.
Failing.
Trying.
Learning.
Helping.
Giving.
Growing.
Your purpose leaves clues everywhere.
Look at what moves your heart.
Look at what keeps calling your name.
Look at what you would gladly do even if nobody applauded.
THE PEARLS LESSON
Throughout my journey, I have discovered that purpose is not something you invent.
It is something you uncover.
Like a pearl hidden within an oyster.
Like treasure buried beneath the surface.
Like a song waiting to be sung.
The Creator placed gifts, abilities, desires, and experiences within you for a reason.
Your task is not to become someone else.
Your task is to become fully yourself.
WHEN PURPOSE MEETS SERVICE
The highest purpose is not found in what you get.
It is found in what you give.
A life devoted only to self eventually becomes small.
A life devoted to service expands beyond imagination.
The teacher teaches.
The builder builds.
The artist creates.
The parent nurtures.
The mentor guides.
The servant leads.
Each fulfills a different role, yet all contribute to the greater whole.
FIND OUT WHY
One day you were born.
That day was given to you.
The second day is earned.
The day you discover why you are here.
The day you stop drifting and start directing.
The day you realize that your life is not merely something happening to you.
It is something happening through you.
May today bring you one step closer to discovering your why.
And if you already know it…
Live it boldly.
