March 23: Adding Meaning And Value

When we add meaning and value to the lives of others in any way, we improve ourselves and those around us.  We become more valuable.  There are infinite ways to do this.  I think the best and easiest way to add meaning and value to others is to be our best self!  But how do we do this?

By being our true and authentic self and doing something we love, our passion is put in to whatever it is we choose to do.  What we do is enjoyable, easy, and beautiful because we actually want to do it.  We always hear people say, “Do what you love!”  This is why:  They have figured out the value in doing what they love, and it is this:  They feel fulfilled, happy, joyful, energized, full of life, strong, and like they are improving not only their lives but the lives of those around them.

Doing what we love ENERGIZES us.

Those who do what they love doing have made it a need and a priority to add meaning and value to themselves and others by thinking, saying, doing, creating, and even selling something, that fills a need and improves lifestyle and the enjoyment of this existence.  They have put themselves into a creative flow state, and through creating something valuable, they are more valuable and they are energized and empowered to continue to consistently add value.

Not every day will be perfect, easy, pain-free, and energizing.  But, if we are doing what we love, we will be adding value and meaning to our lives, and to the lives of those around us.

When we figure out what people spend the majority of their time, efforts, energy, and money on, we know what they value.  When we know what they value, we are able to add more value to them.

Today’s challenge for myself:  Today I will strive to add value and meaning to my life and to the lives of those around me in some way, simply to see how it feels.  I will search within myself to figure out what I enjoy doing and find little ways, every day, to do those things in order to add that value and meaning to myself and others.  I will be my best self.

These are helpful hints on how to start over when you don’t know what to do:

Jay Shetty has some of the greatest advice I have ever heard on how to find your purpose:

goodinthehead is also on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.  Follow me there, as well, for daily messages, inspiration, motivation, and reminders.  Please pay it forward, and share this, and ANY message, which may empower someone you love or may care about.  It is through adding value to others by sharing and spreading wisdom, that we become more valuable as individuals, and collectively, as a whole, we all become wiser.

Remember:  Mindset matters.  Character counts.  That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives.  WE CREATE our personal realities.
