Hello and Good Evening. I had an epiphany today. Maybe God did not want me to help "further the economy" by working in the business world. Maybe that is not where I am to be effectively used. Climbing a corporate ladder, spiffing up my 401k, and helping a company's bottom line is not to be my concern any longer. But I got a Master's Degree --what OF that? So? Big deal. That counts for something. Somewhere. It has been rough to swallow that I am on Social Security Disability now--but it helps, and I have "earned" it.
Now I spend my days trying to find meaning. To do service work. To help others. To recover from everything that afflicts me. To carry the hope and message and my experience to those who still suffer. Hmm. It could be that my task for the remainder of my life is to help others on a more spiritual plane. To seek the truth about onesself, and how we got to where we are is a giant step in the evolving of our person, and mankind as a whole.
Sounds kinda cool. Then I DO count. I can share what I have learned, and help others that way. Sure, I will never know to what extent that I have made a difference...but it isn't really for us to know, is it? The One who knows is all whom is really concerned. We just do what we can, and try to help others help themselves. I will like what I have been given - even if it was not the original plan.
