You are here for a reason…in this place, at this time, in these circumstances. You have a mission to perform and a responsibility to fulfill. I know this to be true.

Here is what I don’t know; I don’t know your place, your circumstances, or your mission.

This is a pivotal time in history. Maybe not in the history of the world or mankind, but for sure in the history of our country. I do know these are historic times and historic events. And I know you have a place in this history.

Think about this…if we all did our best to fulfill our mission, to meet our responsibility…how would that affect our future, our soon-to-be history? How would we fair as we each do our part to the best of our ability?

Look, I really don’t know what your mission might be, I barely understand some of mine. What I do know is we are here at this point in time for a reason. There is no mistake about that. Our country’s government is so corrupted it almost defies reason. Our country’s citizens are at war with each other. I was going to say, but not in a shooting war. However, shootings and violence occur across the country daily…it is in every sense of the word a shooting war.

Around the world we are involved in so many conflicts, especially the war with Russia. And that war has the potential to go nuclear. We are war-weary! We have been at war for decades costing lives, causing untold family tragedies and suffering, and wasting trillions upon trillions of dollars of treasure.

It is as if the entire world is at its very worse right now and headed down hill even further.

The last couple of weeks I have been pondering where we are at as a people and where the future lies. And honestly, I have a pretty dim view in many respects. Yes, I know who wins in the end, for that I am eternally grateful. What I am concerned with is between now and then…and how we can have a positive impact on others. The I thought of the “butterfly effect” and it became much clearer to me what is possible.

I am so grateful for you! And whatever your mission, our mission, my mission is…it is a positive one I can assure you. Part of that mission is to make the world slightly better by doing good for/to others. That I know. And as we do even the smallest ‘good’ to/for someone, it makes a difference in their life…a difference that they may not even recognize…but it is a difference for good.

Then I can’t help but think if hundreds, thousands, millions of people around the country took the time to just do one minor act of “good” to/for someone during their day. Think of the overall difference it could make in the world…in people’s lives.

Now just imagine just one instance of a good deed having the butterfly effect that makes a small difference in the present…that makes a huge change in the future, away from an evil outcome and for a good outcome. Who knows what that might mean!

Please be that agent of change…do just a single act of good for someone today…and each day from now on. For someone you know or even a total stranger. I think that it is part of everyone’s mission no matter who you are…to do good…regardless of what else you are called to do.

Whatever your mission, big or small, do it to your very best…you can make a difference!!
