Where do you want to Make a Difference?

ON PURPOSE
 
Of course, we are busy
with lots to do.
Our families and work make
demands all the time.
 
It is easy to be
in reactive mode.
Sometimes it is hard enough
just to get through the day.
 
Often, we don’t get everything
done that we should.
It can be difficult to
even think about our purpose.
 
We sense deep down
why we are here.
And we know what is
really important to us.
 
We still want to
make a difference.
This may be about poverty,
 or children or the environment.
 
It may be about illness
or helping others.
But our big dreams can
get swamped by daily demands.
 
This, however, is
far from the truth.
For every single thing we do
comes from our purpose.
 
Every good thought can
produce a response from us
that is visible, and then
magnified through others.
 
Everything we do is on purpose.
So, let’s be clear
about what is
really important to us.
 
For in our kindness and
compassion we achieve all.
In our busy day, everything
we do is on purpose.
 
So, look beyond the activities
 and trust in yourself.
For everything you do
 is as it should be.
 
At different points in our lives
we have our calls.
And each time they’re met with
the same core response.
 
The right actions come
from each of us as they should.
And everything we do
is on purpose.
