Say Something Poster Sometimes we feel the need to make big changes in our lives in order to have a different outcome.

It is said, “Do what you’ve always done and you’ll get what you always gotten.”

Look at it this way: If you start walking in a straight line toward a certain place, and then take one small turn to the right or left, you will end up in a completely different place than planned. And the longer you walk, the farther you will move from the original direction.

A small change in direction, by the end of a lifetime, can mean you end up in a completely different place—far indeed from where you were originally headed.

“’I want to make my mark,’ he says.
‘But what target, I wonder, are you going to hit?’”  ― Cecil Castellucci, Boy Proof

We are each one of us, unique individuals; each of us carries special gifts, and our life’s journey is a path, which points the way and guides us to knowing why we’re here. The clearer we become about our purpose, the more defined our path; and as our inner path gains clarity, the outside path becomes more focused. We see more clearly where we’re going because we understand why we’re going there.

Each action we take resonates with our inner life, and we connect with other people who are clear about their life’s purpose. And because focused energy is so powerful, a few people with a sense of purpose can break through the inertia of a large collective consciousness that is drifting along without any particular direction, or just resisting an idea whose time has come.

This is why we have so many visionaries who have, by themselves, changed the direction of a nation.

As you go through the weekend, I invite you to look for the signs in your life and all around you that are pointing you towards making your mark.

I’d love to hear about what you are seeing—let’s share the signs!
