PART OF SOMETHING GREATER
Each day we invest our energy and our lives into making
widgets, selling widgets, servicing widgets and providing for the needs of
those who work with widgets. The widget
is whatever you make or sell or service, in other words, what you do for a
living.
When we focus on these activities, we develop a kind of
tunnel vision and our view of the world is quite small. Please, do not misunderstand me, making a
living, supporting yourself and your family is very important, but each of us
needs to be part of something larger.
Some seek to broaden their horizon through organized faith
and religion while others thorough service organizations, military service,
working for the good of our communities or even joining social clubs. Each of us need to become a part of
something larger, no matter how small the part we play may be.
As you walk along the beach that is life, may your
footprints, your legacy, leave a lasting impression and not be like those along
the water’s edge, washed away with the next tide.
