Using A Teaspoon To Unleash The Power If Your Life’s Purpose

Imagine that each person on this planet carried with them a teaspoon of soil or rock from Mt. Everest. Certainly Mt. Everest would shrink!

Those individual teaspoons of material from the tallest mountain on Earth now in the pockets of billions of people also wouldn’t mean much. Well I suppose each of us could put that small amount of mineral material into a bottle and keep it as a souvenir.

But like most souvenirs we collect, we tire of dusting them and they become added to the already crowded drawer or box of meaningless, useless items. A teaspoon of dirt, in a jar, in a drawer, that by itself, means little.

But, wait a minute…. What about it’s P-O-T-E-N-T-I-A-L?

From Webster’s Dictionary:

“Contribute”: to give or supply in common with others

What if each person on this planet brought their teaspoon of Mt. Everest to the site where it used to stand and contributed it? What would happen? Why, we would build the highest, mightiest mountain on Earth…TOGETHER.

Modern times finds we as human beings have become one of the most seperated species on thgis planet, at least in what we call the developed world. We separate ourselves in our homes. We don’t have time, we don’t have enough money, we are tired. We don’t have any time to ourselves, we go to work and slave for someone else’s goals and often receive a pay cheque for much less than we feel we are worth.

We provide for our families, do tons of tasks and chores in and for the home. Sacrifice for and fearfully protect our children. We amass debt to do many of these things. We feel trapped in a vortex of stress. And yet, with all this striving for what we think we want, if we are honest, we still feel unfulfilled and probably guilty for feeling that way!

Yet with all of this, we still feel empty, alone and that something important is still missing from our lives.

Of course it is—We are living our “separateness”. We are not connected to anyone or anthing significant—our lives are not connected to powerful purpose that propels us to contribute what we have to others or a worthy cause bigger than ourselves…and this process of not giving of ourselves, leaves us empty”.

You see, We usually only think of ways in which to contribute as volunteering our time or donating our money, but there is another, more intangible way to “add your teaspoon”. It is through fulfilling your life’s Purpose.

This means:

• Living life intentionally, not by accident
• Capturing the essence of what it means to be fully alive
• Living by the powerful direction of your life
• Making choices that increase the value of life to yourself and others
• Being fulfilled today and every day
• Living your life based on your values

The truth is, there is no true life Purpose that does not include contribution. And there is no contribution that does not include reward for you, tangible or intangible. You are here to make a difference on this planet. Wouldn’t you like to know that what you left behind made the difference in the lives of those you touch?
