Today's Quotation:

I don't want my life to be defined by what is etched on a tombstone. I want it to be defined in what is etched in the lives and hearts of those I've touched.

Steve Maraboli

Today's Meditation:

I have never really thought about what I may like to see etched on my tombstone, but is what I have etched on a slab of stone really that important? For Steve, it is not. And I have to really ask myself: Is defining my life by the words on my headstone just my way of increasing the importance of my life? And moreover, who will find value in my life if it was defined merely by those words?

It is easy to pay a specified amount of money to have something etched on a tombstone, or even a billboard or signage, however, it will have little meaning outside of those who are affected by it. Therefore, if we wish for our lives to have a deeper meaning and purpose that extends beyond just ourselves, it is essential that we live our lives in ways that allow us to make a difference in the lives of others. This is the most permanent and defining way we can give value and meaning to our lives and to everything that we do--to "etch in the lives and hearts of those we touch." In doing so, we will write the chapters of our book in their hearts, and it will live on in them and in those whose hearts they touch.

Life is a journey. I want to live it passionately. I wish to share that passion with those who walk with me, as well as with those I encounter along the way. And on the day I die, I want my life defined by what I have contributed to making other's lives easier and more fulfilling. If I am able to someday look back and find that I have accomplished this, I will know that my life had great meaning and purpose.

Today's Challenge: Make the effort to positively affect the lives and hearts of others today.

Questions to consider:

Can we live our lives in service to others? What would that truly involve?

In what ways can you touch the lives of others?

What are the benefits or repercussions on your immortal soul if you die having saved a lot of wealth, power, or fame for yourself? What about if you die having saved a lot of heartaches for others?

For further thought:

Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.

Marian Wright Edelman

I understand that our Flag gives a freedom to do this, but what I want to know is if they are so concerned about the injustices going on, are they actually doing something to help. Kneeling is easy. Actually doing something is hard!

Today's Quotation: So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning in your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning. Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie Today's Meditation: What do I devote myself to in life? Do I spend my time and energies chasing busywork and doing things that are truly unimportant? Or do I devote myself to loving others and the community around me? The answer to this question can make all the difference in determining just what I get out of life. As Morrie Schwartz tells us in Mitch's book, where we devote ourselves in life can leave us walking around half-asleep... or it can add meaning and purpose into our lives. In life, we get what we give. And if we spend our time giving, whether it be emotionally, spiritually, physically, or even simply materially, we will receive in return. But we have to do it with purpose and meaning--we have to devote ourselves to giving fully and unconditionally, with no expectations or stipulations. Only then will we be given back exactly what we need--purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. I have had my needs taken care of a number of times in my life. And although it is always tempting to worry about myself, God always finds a way to provide. It is actually very liberating to accept this truth, and instead allow myself to focus on the needs of those around me. Worrying about myself only adds stress to my life and creates more need, whereas, in keeping my focus on the needs of others, my own needs get met, whether or not I notice it at the time. Today's Challenge: Devote yourself to those around you. Questions to consider: In what ways do we sabotage finding meaning and purpose in our lives? What are your most important needs? Are they being met? Do you trust God? Do you trust the plans that life has in store for your? For further thought: You can rest assured that if you devote your time and attention to the highest advantage of others, the Universe will support you, always and only in the nick of time. R. Buckminster Fuller -Inspire Me App
