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.
