there will be days where you will ask
yourself where is all this going what is
the purpose what is my purpose
in high school I thought I’d discover my
life’s purpose when I could answer that
age-old question what do you want to be
when you grow up
no in college I thought I would discover
it when I could answer what’s your major
not quiet
I thought that maybe I discover it when
I found a good job then I thought I just
needed to get a few promotions that
didn’t work either
I kept convincing myself that it was
just over the horizon around the next
corner nothing worked and it was really
tearing me apart part of me kept pushing
ahead to the next achievement and the
other part kept asking is this all there
is
I’ve often said that I wished people
could realize all their dreams and
wealth and fame and so that they could
see that it’s not where you’re gonna
find your sense of completion I realized
one night in LA that the purpose of my
life had always been to free people from
concern I can tell you from experience
the effect you have on others is the
most valuable currency there is when you
work towards something greater than
yourself you find meaning you find
purpose when you keep people at the
center of what you do it can have an
enormous impact all life is interrelated
we are all bound together into a single
garment of destiny
but under the sky under the heaven man
there is but one family it’s also happen
then that people like your food
that’s the only thing that’s important
really letting each other know we’re
here reminding each other that we’re
part of a larger self deep inside of you
lives a hero who wants to do something
great with your life who wants to
inspire other people who wants to do
creative work who wants to change the
world maybe are so numbed out that
you’ve forgotten who you truly are to
the fact that you are alive today means
there is a mighty call on your life to
do something with the rest of your life
when your condensed that your cause is
riled have the courage to take a stand
use your minds and hands and your hearts
to build something bigger than
yourselves if you see a problem or an
injustice recognize that no one will fix
it but you a change in the world that
seems so clear that you are sure someone
else is going to do it but they’re not
you will ideas don’t come out fully
formed they only become clear as you
work on them you just have to get
started how will you serve the world
what do they need that your talent can
provide that’s all you have to figure
out
I want to do good I want the world to be
better because I was here I want my life
I want my my work I want it to mean
something if you are not making someone
else’s life better then you’re wasting
your time
when you wake up in the morning and your
life means something to somebody other
than you that you have a purpose if you
don’t go do the things that you’re gonna
do people’s lives will suffer to live in
service not to you but to live in
service to humanity to live in service
to your family to church to your city to
your country to the world that is the
purest form joy tear down that mirror
that makes you always look at yourself
and you will be able to look beyond that
mural and you will see the millions of
people that need your help reaching out
and helping people who bring you more
satisfaction than anything else you have
ever done measure your impact on
humanity not in lies but in the lives
you touch not in popularity but in the
people you serve there is so much out
there conspiring to make you cynical
people will try to convince you that you
should keep your empathy out of your
career
don’t let that noise knock you off
course I found that my life got bigger
when I stopped caring what other people
thought about me yours will to stay
focused on what really matters
when I look around I always learn
something from that it to be always
yourself and to express yourself to have
faith in yourself to express oneself
honestly not lying to oneself and to
express myself honestly know that my
friend is telling how to do everything
you gain in life will rot and fall apart
and all that will be left of you is what
was in your heart don’t let anything
stand in the way of the light that
shines through this form risk being seen
in all of your glory you are ready and
able to do beautiful things in this
world you will only ever have two
choices love or fear choose love and
don’t ever let fear turn you against
your playful heart can contribute to our
not approving our dreams so I’m not
feeling good enough a lot of things can
contribute to that many of us never live
up to our potential or don’t approve
ourselves because we’ve never had
anybody to believe in us looking at some
of the things that keep us from
approving ourselves that we’ve all done
some things and we don’t feel good about
things that if we had to do those things
over again we would not do those things
or we would do things differently so
part of what we must do in order to
begin to move into your greatness you
got to remove a major energy block and
that is dealing with the issue of
forgiveness people that have hurt you
someone who’s done you wrong make a list
and things that you have done that you
you feel bad about that you regret make
a list
there may be a time when you weren’t a
good father a good mother a good brother
a sister or you you were a bad shallow
you didn’t do a good job or you lied or
you were just honest so you stole no one
knows this but you or something you feel
good about so you know it’s a real dog
in me to do that
something you just really regrets and we
make a list of all those things all of
us have some of that might say there is
some good and the worst of us and some
bad and the best of us so none of us
escape now here’s something I want you
to do I want you to become involved in
an active process to get some clutter
out of your life so if there’s any area
in your life that you need to clean up
there’s some people whose cluttering up
your life they serve no purpose
whatsoever they’re just holding and
occupying the space that somebody useful
positive nurturing and contributing
could be holding that space you’ll even
have time to look to see what else is
out there because you all have all of
these people surrounding you that’s not
in enabling you to grow so look at what
is it I need to get out of my life just
start cleaning this stuff out see
whatever you have in your environment is
a reflection of your consciousness so
you got all that chaos there that
represents some disorganized cluttered
section of your mind so let’s get all
this out of there all right work to get
that out clean that up anybody that you
feel very strongly about have some
negative feelings about let’s look at
some good reasons to forgive them number
one you must try and see what has
happened or see things from that other
person’s point of view if look at it
from their point of view that’s that’s
one area that’s number one then number
two holding a grudge hurts you it
doesn’t hurt them so just for good
health and peace of mind let it go any
feeling of the resentment of anger or
hatred is called to me the load of
bitterness within every thought that we
entertain produces a chemical in our
brain that impacts the body’s immune
system and besides this person you are
hating it probably I’m not even aware of
it don’t even know you are really hating
them you’ve turned up the steam loan
from this life to hate intensely and
here you are killing yourself making
yourself vulnerable to various types of
illnesses putting yourself in bad health
and I say that person is not worth your
sacrificing your health or one minute of
peace of mind one minute of anger robs
you of 60 seconds of happiness so decide
it doesn’t matter let it go and
experience the dignity and the
magnanimous sense of character of being
big enough to move on and get on with
your life letting it go so you can grow
see what all of us have greatness within
us but when you don’t come to grips with
your greatness and you don’t work to
develop it if you’re not seeking it out
if you’re not finding where it is if
you’re not trying to locate it if you’re
not experimenting with your life to try
and find out what’s fits for you I’m
saying that you’re positioning yourself
to be a miserable person an unfulfilled
person how else do we do it
procrastination we just put things off
over and over and over again why because
we haven’t accepted it we don’t feel
deserving we don’t feel that we’re good
enough so we sabotage ourselves by not
ever taking care of business we get real
busy doing a lot of things what we don’t
have anytime we start doing so many
things we just give our time away until
we don’t have any time for ourselves or
any time to do the things that we want
to do and every time you put it off and
move it back well I’ll do it one day all
year I’m gonna get to it I’m saying to
you that one day you look around
and there goes the year there goes two
years there goes three years so there’s
something you want to do do it now do it
right now
don’t put it off start right now where
you are there will never be a perfect
ideal time whatever you have going for
you right now that’s enough work on that
idea work on it work on it work on it
watch out with the relationships you
have what kind of person are you
becoming because of the relationships
that you have right now do those people
contribute to you do they help you grow
and develop yourself what kind of person
are you becoming people who have not
accept greatness for themselves these
people don’t study ladies and gentlemen
these people don’t study they don’t have
time for personal growth and development
then have time to work on their minds
know they’ll have time for that too busy
for that to determine the height of your
self approval it’s important that you
evaluate yourself because you know you
quite well but it’s almost impossible to
do it totally by yourself you must get
some caring feedback find somebody close
enough to you that has observed you of
it around you that you value their
opinion and ask them how do they see you
how do they rate you in terms of your
self esteem and then compare what you
have with what they say see there are
things many times that people can see in
us that we can’t see because it’s a
blind spot when someone pays you a
compliment can you handle it well can
you handle compliment slow that’s a good
barometer about your self-esteem can you
handle criticism well can you give
criticism what are your expectations
what do you expect to get from life what
do you expect to get from your business
what do you expect to get from your
relationships what is your ideal day
what is it that you expect from this
experience this trip this journey that
you’re involved in
people that that have a strong sense of
self approval they have high
expectations for themselves and from
life and from others see a lot of people
don’t expect much from life so they
don’t shoot for much they’re not
preparing for much a lot of people just
showing up in life a lot of people just
get up in the morning and they go
through the day they go to the job just
to pull a check down watching the clock
coming here so you want to be a
different kind of person as you forward
your life you want to get something out
of this if you’re going to do it it’s
worth your time your energy you’ve got
some expectations from this so examine
your expectations versus your wishes
some people wish they could do better
but some people expect to do that
were you on that I love yourself make
caring for you the highest priority in
your life take care of you look out for
what truly satisfies you we’re not
taught to love ourselves we’re not
taught to look out for ourselves we’re
not taught to take care of ourselves to
become sensitive to our wants to our
needs our desires so make a conscious
effort make you number one priority your
peace of mind your health is more
important than your family in any and
everybody because if you don’t have
peace of mind if you don’t have your
health you can’t serve anybody don’t
neglect yourself a lot of us in
particularly ladies have been groomed to
be sacrificial lambs putting their
dreams on the back burner in deference
to their children’s dreams or their
husband’s dreams or their family’s
dreams and forget about themselves then
become resentful and angry and bitter so
start taking care of yourself looking
out for you develop a health plan your
help is all you got so start taking care
of you eating nutritious meals willing
to exercise
your body taking care of this body
loving yourself so do some good stuff
for yourself on purpose take some time
out for you you can’t develop and
manifest your greatness you can’t be a
high achiever if you don’t feel good you
don’t take care of yourself it takes the
edge off your life it helps you to
manage things rather than allowing them
to manage you gives you more personal
power to deal with stuff take care of
you
now here’s something else I suggest for
you become aware of what your needs are
and develop compassion towards yourself
despite your human defense develop
compassion for yourself despite your
human defense you will never be perfect
hello you will never be perfect you’re
human you’ve made a lot of mistakes
you’ve done a lot of dumb stupid things
guess what you’re not through yet you
gotta learn to be gentle with yourself
make it alright what you don’t know
mistakes that you make it’s okay
handle it learn from the experience
decide that you are going to whatever
you become involved in to be upfront to
be true to yourself are you getting what
you need out of it
and be upfront with people and tell them
what you need from them don’t assume
that they know don’t say I thought you
knew
no tell people upfront here’s what I
need from this in order for this to work
for me be upfront with your stuff
tell them upfront so they are not
surprised later on so your feelings
aren’t hurt later on see if they tell
you upfront they can’t do it now you
know you can keep on stepping
but tell people upfront here’s what I
want in order for me to play this game
with you if we’re going to dance this is
what I got to get out of it see if you
don’t take care of your needs guess what
you will always have that nagging song
in the back of your mind say well when
do I get mine see we’re taught to be
quiet and not speak up for ourselves not
to be selfish if you don’t take care of
you what do you think is going to take
care of you who’s gonna look out for you
better than you will no one’s gonna do
that you got a business no one’s gonna
take care of your business better than
you nobody nobody anything you want to
do in life you’ve got to take ownership
of it so hey I’m gonna make this happen
be willing to venture out and do
something that you have fantasized about
doing and you know you probably won’t be
good at it but do it anyhow
yourself where is all this going what is
the purpose what is my purpose
in high school I thought I’d discover my
