January 2023 Topic: How am I leaving the world a better place than when I came into it?
By Jamie Allen Bishop with Jamie Allen Bishop Coaching
I am leaving the world a better place than when I came into it by existing.
To some, that statement might come across as selfish or egocentric.
To me, it’s the truest statement I could make about myself… or about you.
- YOU do your best. I do my best.
- YOU make a difference. I make a difference.
- YOU are important. I am important.
- YOU are amazing. I am amazing.
- YOU are a blessing. I am a blessing.
- YOU matter. I matter.
- …and so on.
Each of us has the power to create peace or hell on earth. My prayer is that we are doing the things in our power to leave the world a better place through our own example… by being grateful… by accepting each other… by learning what to hold and what to release… by loving our flaws… by holding space for each other… by knowing our boundaries… by growing purposefully every day.
When life feels chaotic or overwhelming, I turn to folks who are the examples I want to see in the world. This quote has helped me through numerous challenges. May it find a place in your heart to bring you hope, too.
“Sometimes when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place.”
~ Marlo Thomas
There’s hope in that statement. There’s magic, too.
And guess what?!
We have 100% control over our perception… our hope… our magic, which absolutely becomes our world… our purpose.
And our purpose is simple – just BE.
- Be giving.
- Be grateful.
- Be honorable.
- Be joyful.
- Be kind.
- Be knowledge.
- Be loving.
- Be magic.
- Be thoughtful.
- Be YOU!
If we are experiencing anything other than blissful nirvana… our own version of heaven on earth… it is because we are out of alignment with our purpose.
Can you imagine a world where everyone existed as the giving, grateful, honorable, joyful, kind, knowledgeable, loving, magical, thoughtful, and best versions of themselves?
If so, you’re onto something. Keep up the great work!
If not, only YOU can change your world. Perception is nine-tenths of the law.
Join me on a quest to live intentionally as if peace on earth exists because you are here.
Because it does.
