PURPOSE IN LIFE

“To the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world.”

Everybody in this world has a purpose in life, we are unique. We were created for something, sometimes it comes out naturally, other times you have to look for it. I have said this before and I will say it again that I believe my purpose in life is to encourage and help others. I love giving and helping others and if you think about it, it does not take a lot of effort to give back or to help out. Sometimes it is a simple smile or being there for the people you love, and as time goes by, you will see how much of a difference you make in this world.

I believe you should always treat others with kindness, generosity, honesty, and respect and our goal should not merely be to achieve goodness, but to be good for something. To have value that we offer to the world. Our purpose is the path that we choose to follow which reminds me of a broad paintbrush that colors all areas of our life. When all of our goals are aligned with our purpose here on earth, we will be genuine human beings with integrity.

I would like to remember two very important people who gave all.

Dwain Gleason

Dwain Gleason, who died on June 1, 2009. He was the silver lining of the IT Department at Kevin’s work. Dwain was loved and respected by many people and touched the lives of people he had never even met. Someone posted this comment on his obituary guestbook and I couldn’t have said it better myself:

“he was truly one of the most genuine, thoughtful, witty, and intelligent people I've been privileged to come in contact with. His impact on those around him is a testament to his inherent goodness. The world was blessed to have him and I am glad I was briefly in association with him years ago. And now it seems heaven will be the latest place to get REAL BBQ. What a wonderful soul. Peace.”

Rest in Peace Dwain. You will be greatly missed here on earth.

Jonnae Taylor

Today also marks the year anniversary of Jonnae Taylor’s death. She was an amazing angel here on earth and reminded us all that we do not have to do anything, WE GET TO! :)
