Living to Matter and Giving to Matter can become an integral part of your life.  You can begin today.

 

Living to Matter starts by identifying your unique gifts, then working to develop them.  This is an opportunity and a responsibility each of us has. 

 

Giving to Matter is what each of us should ultimately do with our gifts.  Start small if you like.  Seek opportunities to lend a helping hand.  Find a way you can make someone’s day.  Ask yourself, “What is unique about me that I can share in a manner that helps another person?”  Then think bigger. Ask yourself, “What passion or talent do I have that I can utilize to make a lasting impact, or help solve a problem in my community, or help others on a larger scale?”

 

​

 

 

Living with the awareness of the impact you can make, and with this kind of intention,  ultimately making the commitment to living a life of consequence, can indeed become the passion project of your lifetime. It’s OK if it takes a while to find your path.  Or if you alter your path from time to time.
