Walk In Your Greatness

In his recent speech to students, Barack Obama claimed, "Every single one of you has something you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is."


Strong and powerful words that I hope we can clear our partisan views to embrace. For me, it speaks to the need for all of us to discover our purpose in life, so we can make decisions and take actions that allow us to walk in all our greatness.

Are you living in your purpose and ultimately your greatness? Well, to begin, do you know what your purpose is?

We so often go through our days and life on auto-pilot. We never take the time to stop and say,"What am I here to do?" Some of us are afraid to explore the question, because we worry that we do not know the answer. Others do not want to explore the question, because it simply will confirm that we are not living the life we know we should.

Guess what? Both of these worries are valid and OK! The process of discovery is what we are all responsible for as citizens of this world. Your responsibility is to commit to the time and journey of learning what your unique purpose is for being on this earth. We must all learn what our purpose is, so we can then walk in our greatness...it is part of our price for having the privilege of being part of something bigger and better than ourselves.

Take the challenge and just think about it. You may be amazed at what you discover.
