Do you ever feel that there something grand that you should be doing in your life?
Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound?
That calls the young sailors
They might be one and the same
I’ve heard it too many time to ignore it
There’s something I’m supposed to beSomeday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lover, the dreamers and me
Kermit
Once in a while we get moved and reminded. On how much we decide we want to do with this life, in this lifetime.
We know some of these people. Some who will do grand things and others who will do not so grand things but inevitably change the lives of people in ways more profound than we can imagine. They keep the human race moving forward. They inspire us and move us.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
“Our true purpose may forever remain obscure to you but if you commit yourself to the highest advantage of others, you can assume that you are fulfilling your true purpose.“
Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller
Same thoughts echoed in different ways. Do the grand thing to the highest advantage of others.I believe deep inside we all simply want to do our best. It will never be perfect. But that’s the entire point. To take that journey, and in the process, discover the person that I can become. And the contributions that I would have made along the way.
And that would be sufficient.
