Our Role, Our Purpose, Our Selves

Every one of us has a vocation to be someone.  We must understand that in order to fulfill this vocation

We can only be ourselves.

- Adapted from Thomas Merton

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you: if you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you”

- Gospel of Thomas

By being here you are bringing forth what is within you.  I can see it in your eyes – I can see it in your hearts.

Ask yourself these questions:

Am I living fully now?

Am I sharing everything I can share?

Am I giving all I can give?

Am I doing all I can do?

We feel happiest and most fulfilled when meeting the challenge of bringing our sense of purpose into the world.

Fulfillment happens not by retreating from the world but by full engagement.

Who are the people around you (family, school, neighborhood) who are living their purpose?

“Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference.”

- Jane Goodall
