Imagine the Possibilities

Ego and agenda are two elements that collide in a continual struggle for more. We love to be recognized. We love to be seen. We love to be at the front of the line. We love to take credit. In the end, what we do for others brings more joy and satisfaction. When we are in the place of helping meet the needs of those around us, we have a deeper connection to our purpose.

I have learned in my short 62 years on this planet that life is not all about me. I can get more accomplished working with others than I can doing it by myself. Sure, I am uniquely gifted in ways and some things come easier than others. Then again, what is hard for me, is probably easy for someone else. That is the balance of the universe and a reminder that together we can accomplish more.

Today, and the days that follow, remember this simple quote from former president, Harry S. Truman. When you remove your ego and agenda from the discussion, just imagine the possibilities.
