Why Are We Here, Really?

The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best which is within us. – Marianne Williamson

What is the purpose of a seed?

To germinate and grow into something; a mighty oak for example.

What is the purpose of your life?

Well, you’ve already germinated, what are you growing into?

Are you using your life, possibly the only one you’ll ever get, to be and do something worthy?

Maybe even do something great?

Don’t get hung up on “greatness . . . .”

You can be great in any number of ways.

In your own family, your career, your community; wherever you are, be great.

Be worthy of the life you have been given.
