Have A Mission In Life

What Is Your Mission In Life?

I hope you have missions that will enrich your life and the lives of others. We need to have many missions in our lives. One could leave Earth a better place for you having been here. We should do things that help others. You could leave a scholarship to a student who cannot afford to go to college. The student you help could have a huge impact on the world someday. Pray with people who need help. The person may have constant pain or be praying for a family member to get better. All of us need people to pray for us and uplift us in turbulent times, and do not forget to pray when you have smooth sailing. God should be your constant friend and companion, not a rainy-day friend. Perhaps you love animals, so do your best to give them a loving, caring home with everything they need so they can flourish and live their best life with your loving care.

We Should Make It A Goal To Learn Something New Every Day

We are never too old to learn something new. Lifelong learning enhances your mind, and it may save someone else’s life down the road. I took a CPR class, now I would be able to save someone who had a heartattack. It is a good idea to brush up on skills from time to time. I refinished some furniture about 8 years ago, and I had not done that for years. I loved the results, as I had learned more techniques over the years by watching and observing others and by reading books on refinishing furniture. No one ever gets too old to learn, and many retired people have become famous as authors, and more.

Challenge Yourself Now And Then

If we do not challenge ourselves now and then, we become stale and moldy like an old slice of bread. I like playing old harmonicas, and I picked them up again after I retired. I play for people in rest homes and assisted living units. The people look forward to my coming, and I enjoy it. If you ride a bicycle, challenge yourself to pedal a little farther every day, and you will be pleased with the results. You will have more stamina and have lost weight. Always be the little engine that says, “I think I can, I think I can,” instead of saying, “I know I cannot do that without even trying.”

Encourage Young People

Some young people need a little encouragement. Things can get challenging and overwhelming for them with all their studies and friends pulling them in one direction, while others pull them in the wrong direction in life. Help young people get their priorities in order. Have young people pray to God for help in their lives when it seems the tide is rising against them. God can calm the roughest of seas in our lives, and we will eventually see blue skies ahead. God bless all in their life.
