Its about the journey...not about the destination

Why am i here?
Am i here so that i can be a good son... a good brother..a good husband? Is my puspose to receive love... give love ...touch lives.... spread smiles.... am i here only for those who are dear to me?

I think we have been sent not only for the "destinations" that we reach in the course of our lives but for the "journeys" - journeys with other souls - making a difference to their journey - I am here so that i can be the strength for a freind who needs it in his/her time of trouble... i am here so that i can move an injured cat to the side of the road so that it can have a peaceful death.. i am here so that i can be the sounding board for someone who's been hurt by someone else... i am here so that i can help a blind person cross the road...i am here so that i can do something good and be seen doing that by someone so that he/she also does some good... i am here so that if i do something bad .. i repent and learn and someone else learns too.... i am here so that when i make someone laugh... they forget their pain just for that while...i am here so that when i achieve something .. i inspire someone to excel... i am here so that when i fail...someone learns how it could have been done differently.

I am here for all of this.....to make a difference in those journeys.. some which last a few days ..to some which last a few minutes....to a few seconds......

God please give me the strength and the honor of making a difference to those journeys... keep blessing me with chances to ease that pain just a bit.....increase that joy just a bit.....

Thanks for all the journeys... and thanks above all to help me realize its all about the journeys...not about the destination alone.
