Here for a purpose, Part One

Ever since I can remember, I have felt I was on earth for a purpose. It is a feeling that stems from the deepest reaches of my soul. Ironically, I don't know what that purpose is, but learning and fulfilling my part is now a driving force in my life.

Here's what I do know:

• Accomplishing my role is important. It will bring meaning to my days and be a benefit to others.
• Opportunities will unfold before me, in line with my mission. I have only to observe and act. To listen and trust. To show courage and character.
• No one else is called for this purpose.
• Yet, I'm not alone. You have a calling, too.
• Understanding your calling is important to me.

I'm not much on polite conversation. When I speak with people, ultimately I want more than info on how they are. I need to know who they are. And, somehow, I feel this tells me so much more than I ask. It also tells me who we are.

And that's why I recently began asking the questions that matter to me. And, in this multi-part series, I'd like to share the responses to my first question:

Do you have a sense/feeling that you are here for a purpose?
