Life purposes.

What makes you feel really good on the inside? I have read and heard about living life on purpose. But, how do we really live life on purpose? My answer, just live! Each and every moment of our lives is a life on purpose. We serve many purposes in this life that we are living and many parts to play. First of all, nothing occurs in our lives by accident. It was all meant to be. Yes, the good and the bad. The problem is, most of the time we are not aware of our thoughts, actions, and speech.

Shakespeare says, "The world is a stage, and each of us has a part to play in it". Therefore whatever we do, we are playing our part in the world. We are all linked together in one way or another. Sometimes we may feel as if we are living our lives without purpose, but think again. We also question our reason for being here on earth at times. Please remember this; you are here for a purpose. Stop for a minute, keep very still, and think about your life. Ask yourself questions such as; what did I do today? Did I make a difference in anyone's life? Was I kind to someone? Ok. You had an off day, well, that is what you think. Things went just the way it should because this will shape tomorrow. I want to take you back a little, think back to yesterday, last week, ten years ago, what did you come up with? Were you surprise? I hope so. However, the question still remain, what makes you feel really good on the inside? If you can answer this question, then you can see one of your main purposes in action.

Let me share with you a story, one of my main purposes. I became friends with a young lady about three years ago who has a four year old son. He is still not talking like he should and he refuse to chow. He is a very loving, healthy, and happy boy. I help her out by picking him up from daycare. I take him home and take care of him until she gets home. The only thing he would do is drink. His meal was ensure and so on. One day I got fed up of feeding him something to drink, so I decided to step it up and make some oatmeal. It was a fight to feed it to him, but I did it! The next step was to teach him how to feed him self the oat meal. That was also accomplished. This went on for a while until I got fed up of feeding him oatmeal. I again step it up. My thoughts were there was no medical reason that we were aware of, that is stopping him from eating. The fight was on between me and this wonderful boy.

The first thing I started with was mash potatoes, yes we fight but he
