Why, if there's no purpose to life should your life have any purpose? Think about it.You go about everyday doing the little things that are so important to you but why? What difference or impact does your actions have in the great scheme of things. Are you really that important?
~A.D.
Dear A.D.,
Your first statement assumes that there is no purpose to life. Sometimes we can feel that way, but be aware that feelings can often fool you. Here's what I've learned. We do have a purpose in life. And because we have a purpose, we have to set goals to live up to that purpose. Some are short-term and some are long term and some are completely embedded in our very existence. Our main purpose is to reflect well on our Maker, from birth, through death and beyond. That's all well and good until we decide that's not enough. We want something else, something more. Feelings of worthlessness come about when we stop looking at the One who made us and start looking at what we've made ourselves. What's wrong with doing little things from day to day? That's the way He made us. We have the opportunity to make someone happy, to help someone out, to shine a little brighter in a sometimes dark world. On the other hand, we sometimes are around so others will have someone to help or cheer up. While some people do make a bigger impact on their city, country, culture, even the world, they still must do those "little things" every day like the rest of us. It's just the way they do those little things that set them apart. And remember..."impact" can be good or bad. You are already an important person, probably a lot more important than you realize right now. You make an impact on everyone you know, everyone you talk to and even everyone who reads your letter. Don't sell yourself short. You have a great purpose and can do things that I could never do. You can reach people that I will never see or talk to. Your purpose is to make the Maker proud. (and me too..let me know how you're doing)
