It’s a beautiful thing when the bits and pieces of our lives come together to create purpose. All of the events that we viewed as random, sometimes painful and many times joyful, now begin to coalesce into a life that honors the reason we’re in the world.

Yesterday I was doing some writing and I stopped to consider my purpose for being in the world. Suddenly the floodgates opened and I found myself thinking about many of the events that had occurred in my life, some wonderful and some not. But in each one there was at least a sliver of joy or truth.

It occurs to me that in order for the slivers to become signposts, directing us along the road to our best lives, we have to accept the fact that we have a purpose for being here and that being born into this world was not a random event. 

We need to consider the bits and pieces of our lives.

And then be present enough to watch them meld together into a meaningful life. 

Carpe Diem
