Purpose
One of the books I am reading right now is, "Life is a Gold Mine" by Dr. John W. Stanko. In it he quotes Richard Nelson Bolles from his book, "What Color is Your Parachute". I think this is great...
"We need to unlearn the idea that our unique Mission must consist of some achievement which all the world will see, and learn instead that as the stone does not always know what ripples it has caused in the pond whose surface it impacts, so neither we nor those who watch our life will always know what we have achieved by our life and by our Mission. It may be that by the grace of God we helped bring about a profound change for the better in the lives of other souls around us, but it also may be that this takes place beyond our sight, or after we have gone on. And we may never know what we have accomplished, until we see Him face-to-face after this life is past."
