A Moment of Purpose

--by theangerguy, posted Jun 13, 2010

Lately, I've been trying to listen more to the messages I send myself. Having some extra time the other day, I thought: "I've got an hour to kill." I winced; feeling the word "kill." So I changed my thought to: "I've got an hour to live." Wow! My mindset completely changed. And then, out of nowhere, I found my self leaving a "smile card" on the table behind me. As I sat, my insides started to giggle, I couldn't help but laugh like a little kid. It was euphoric just knowing that I could benefit some else, even a little bit. I literally felt, in real time, my value as a human being. At that moment, I felt that I had found my real purpose.

I never did see who picked it up, but it didn't matter. I had gained so much. My soul had spoken. I learned that when I am unaware, I am nowhere. But when I am "purposely aware," I am now here.

Perhaps they will use the card to do a kind deed for another - or just smile each time they look at it. MAYBE they'll even check out this website!! No act of kindness is ever too small... or too big. It's the perfect gift!
