happiness

It's been a while since I wrote a blog. I read the blogs of others often, and in doing so, wonder where I fit in the blogging universe. What do I have to share that another might relate to, might find value in? My blogs are most often personal reflections, learnings along my personal journey. About life. How the things that happen affect me, cause me to reflect, and reading back I see they are often about sadness. Long ago I took part in some training that included me writing out what my purpose was (is). That was hard for me, it took a while, but I eventually crystallized my career (life?) purpose to this: to help people be happy by providing information and resources. That was over 15 years ago. And I haven't changed, that is what drives me, that's what I believe, that's what's important. So many struggle and often suffer simply from a lack of knowledge, from some insight, an opportunity to see life differently. I can be a conduit to a better (happier) life. I'm not so sure that what I am doing every day is making any kind of contribution to my mission in life, and that is so sad. Back to the sadness. I need to get back to a place where what I do every day is in better alignment to my purpose. I still remember when I held the hands of someone who was struggling, she looked at me and said "I can feel your strength flowing into me". I responded "take what you need, I have lots". Sometimes a physical connection is more powerful than all the words in the world, it transmits hope and a belief that together we can do this. It is in the giving that I receive.
