What the World Needs

Howard Therman said  "Don't ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."  

We need people to be alive!!!  What a great quote....

Sometimes it is important to remind ourselves that you need to make sure you are doing what make you happy, what make you come alive before you can have impact on others.  If you haven't figured out your own mission, it is hard to help others.  I recently was reminded of this by Brian Johnson with the Philosopher's notes TV.....He talked about how we are reminded of this when we board a plane and go over the emergency procedures.  When the oxygen masks drops down from the compartment, you need to get oxygen first then help someone else out.  You need to find what you need first before you can give the world what it needs.

To come alive you need to fulfill your mission.  Do you know your mission?  Everyone's purpose is the same....every single human being has the SAME PURPOSE....yes, and that is to be happy.  What is different is your mission, that is unique to you....what is your mission?  I really believe it has to be rooted in serving others ."Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others."  Wonderful quote by Danny Thomas.

So work on finding your mission....what you do is a strategy to help fulfill your mission.....
