Living a Life of.........Permanent Significance.....

Not long ago, I was given guidance in a most 'unusual fashion' by ordinary person.....

What the person told me did nothing less than change my perception on Life.

A 'Paradigm Shift' 

The person said...

"With a little perspective you can live a life of permanent purpose."

When I asked what he meant, the person answered with a question:

 "Do you sometimes find yourself unconsciously judging your actions by level of importance?" 

I frowned a bit, not certain I understood....

 "For instance, "he continued, "the time you spend with friends is important, but the time you spend with family, is more important. 

You might rank an hour fishing as very important, thirty minutes visiting a sick friend in the hospital much more important than the fishing, and a sixty second conversation with a store clerk as not very important at all."

I nodded my understanding and he returned to his initial point:

"When you know that everything matters -that every move counts as much as any other -you will begin living a life of permanent purpose.
(... a 360-degree rippling effect like a stone that hit water ...)

A life of permanent purpose will make you a better parent, a better spouse, and a more valuable friend. 

Your productivity and financial success will soar to new heights while the old days of uncertainty, doubt, and depression fade into the past."

Of course, that conversation with this person changed me....!

But even more, it became an unconscious underlying guiding force ... 

You see, I understand fully that my very value as a person are judged by the 'success you achieve... (or NOT achieve)'

When one lives a life of permanent purpose, .......sales figures soar, .......team chemistry thrives, and decisions become wiser and more cautious. 

And these .......are just a few examples of what 'might happen'....

Simply put, when we understand that every action matters, every result of our actions  immediately improves........!
