Mission: Correcting An Injustice
Lack of inner peace.
An inner feeling of emptiness.
Plain ole’ boredom.
We’ve all been there at one time or another, haven’t we?
When the famous philosopher Henry David Thoreau said ‘most people live lives of quiet desperation’, he sure knew what he was talking about.
Onward.
Let me share with you a few thoughts, you can decide there merit and worth to you.
(gulp of my peach Snapple - diet peach today)
We live. We love. We laugh. We cry. We learn. We do our best.
Though sometimes we feel like there’s something missing.
We can’t put our finger on it, but we feel like something is missing.
I’ve been there. I’ve felt that way before. I know that.
Let me share with you an idea that has really helped me.
You see, for many years I didn’t appreciate my own skills and talents.
I really didn’t appreciate them. I took them and what they did for others, for granted.
Totally, for granted.
Looking back on it, I stole mountains of JOY from myself. Yes, from myself and also from others.
This lack of appreciation brought a feeling of emptiness to my life. Even though I didn’t know that back then.
Go to ‘Main Street’ in your town. Look around. Too many people have this feeling of emptiness in their lives as well.
“Mike, I agree with you, what do you think is missing?”
Here are my answers.
MEANING.
Yes, MEANING.
Many people don’t realize it, though they are searching for meaning in their lives.
Why are they alive?
What’s the value of their life?
Read this carefully.
The day you realize -you’re- important your life will change forever.
Let me say that again.
The day you realize -you’re- important your life will change forever.
You might realize you’re important to a person, a group of people, or your Creator.
Or all 3.
When you, your SELF, realizes you’re important, you’ll start to experience real MEANING in your life.
It’s like, “Wow, my life really does matter. People need me. I make a difference. Wow, this feels good.”
A greater degree of self love will follow.
Victor Frankl, the author of ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ and holocaust survivor writes, “The more one forgets himself-by giving himself a cause to serve or another person to love- the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself.”
Create a ‘gap’ in your life, I call it the ‘meaning gap’.
Where are you now and where do you want to be?
What have you accomplished now and what else do you want to accomplish?
Who are you serving and how many more people do you want to help?
That is the ‘meaning gap’, where you are today and where your want to ultimately be.
You were born to be a walking, talking blessing and problem solver for others.
Tap into this power, tap into the meaning that lives there.
The more we ‘become’, the more we can give others.
The philosopher Nietzsche wrote, “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”
Bring more ‘meaning’ into your life. Share your SELF. Give it away. Watch more of ‘it’ enter your life and watch the profits flow to you.
When you find real meaning in your life it will be worth more than any amount of money someone can give you.
The good news is when you tap into ‘meaning’, you’ll get more riches than you can handle. You’ll feel better about yourself and your income will soar.
You’re a GIFT to someone. Realize your important today.
Realize the pain from your past and enter your present with meaning and love.
Your best days are ahead of you and they can’t wait to SEE you.
Love Ya! You’re The Best!
Your Coach,
Michael
