This is it-

My Dad had had a stroke and was bedridden for the last two years of his life. He had lost the ability to speak but on this particular day there was no mistake what he was saying. We had all gathered in my parent’s house to say goodbye to Dad. All the kids and grand kids were there in the living room where he stayed in his hospital bed. We knew it wasn’t going to be long. For some reason everyone had ended up in the kitchen next to the living room. Without realizing it we had left him alone even though we were just feet away. When we looked around the corner to check on him, the look in his eyes said it so clear “this is it”. We all rushed to his side and within seconds of us doing so he breathed his last breath.

You too will get to that same moment one day and when you say “this is it”. What will go through your mind if nothing changes from right now? Will you be satisfied with what you have done in your life or will the last thing that goes through your mind be “this is it and I failed to make a difference. Failed to do anything worthwhile. I wasted my life.” Well It’s not too late! You need to start now so when you come to that moment you can say I am at peace with my life. I did the best I could to help some people along the way. Some of you are barely getting by. You struggle every day to just live. Or maybe you have done well financially but something is missing. The money that you strived all your life to acquire brings you little happiness. Maybe you reached some lofty goal you had only to realize that when it came to an end you went a drift because you did not plan for what came next. Your identity was tied to that goal so now you have lost you. You wonder how did I get here?

I have always known I was here to help people. It took me until now to understand HOW. When you do what you were put on this earth to do, there is a feeling of tremendous joy and satisfaction you get. A feeling of knowing that this is the me I’ve been looking for. You can find your HOW also. You probably know it but have ignored it. You may be thinking I’m not good enough or how can I help someone else when I can’t even help myself. So, you’ve been through some things. GOOD! You are perfect for the job of talking to others going through what you went through. Take some time over the next few days and really think about what you are here for. Your purpose. A lot of people need help of one kind or another. Remember there are people, places and things that only YOU can touch. Your time is now! Get activated so on that day that you realize that your time is up you can run through the gates of heaven saying THIS IS IT!

Live Better,
