What is your life about?

Posted on Saturday 17 November 2007

Question I have been asking myself lately.  What good am I doing in this world, if any?  This week I am in San Diego and have had the privilege to reconnect with some old friends and colleagues over meals.  Why do I say that to you?  Because - I hope I am making some mark in those friend’s lives - I hope I matter to those friends.

I think the answer is that I do - these are people that whatever help they asked for I would try and help them.  I have a lot of good friends, I am very blessed that way.  I try and maintain good relationships with these folks and sometimes do an ok job.

I think my life is worth something if I can see the impact I have had in someone else’s life.  Can you do that?  To me, how I serve other people and impact the world is what it is about.  How am I helping people become something they never dreamed they could do?  That is what I like doing.  I want people to be the best ______________  they can be.  I love doing that.  I want to do that for the rest of my life in whatever setting I end up in.

Life is good.
