| BE KIND-BE JOYFUL |
PURPOSE
Don’t
get hung up on grandiose ideas of what your divine purpose is in life. Just allow yourself to live your life today
with purpose. What is on your to-do
list today? Can you do those things with
joy? Can you enjoy accomplishing the
tasks of daily life, today? Stuff has to
get done, so you can choose to enjoy it or resent it. Which choice do you think
will serve you better? Live with a sense
of intent to be kind, happy, and enjoy yourself and others. That choice of purpose is enough to make your
daily grind worth doing. There are more
days of daily grind than days filled with ecstasy. That is the cold truth. But the warm truth is if you live each day
with the purpose of being kind, then the day goes by and you won’t notice the
grind as much. Dishes that don’t go in
the dishwasher are a daily grind. But
think about that. So many people don’t
even have electricity or water, much less a dishwasher. Think about the nourishment and delightful
tastes in the food that you just had for breakfast or dinner. It would not be possible without that skillet
or pan you are washing. Yes, be kind as
you wash that skillet and notice that if you just pay attention to what you are
doing and stop worrying about what else needs to be done, the day evolves into
a day of PURPOSE.
