Do you struggle finding worth in life? Do you wonder if if life is worth living? Do you wonder if it’s even worth getting out of bed in the morning some days? If this describes you, in any capacity, then you are in a position where you need to find a goal or a project that is worthy of you and your talents to invest in.
Worth and value are assigned based upon deeply held beliefs. What ever it is that you find of value in your belief system is where you will place your work or your value. For example, if you believe that life, in any form, is worth fighting for, did you will fight for causes or projects that are related to this idea. Or if you believe that our environment is worth fighting for, then you will support causes related to our environment. Now that we have a basic understanding of worth and value, let us discover where your worth and value lie.
Where do you place value and worth in your own life? What is it that you desire to fight for? What are the causes that are near and dear to your heart?
I’ll give you some examples of my own for your help in figuring out where you are at.
There are two primary causes that my wife and I fight for. The first cause is for children that are suffering from malnutrition around the world. These children are underneath the age of five and are simply born into an area that is deeply impoverished and they do not have the proper nutrition. Without the help of the organization that my wife I work with, these children will die before the age of five. We work with an organization that provides the necessary nutrition for these children to have a fighting chance in life. When I first learned about this company and saw the vision of this company, I literally started weeping. The love that this company has four children around the world, and here in the United States, is amazing.
When I was introduced to this mission, I was so moved with compassion that I chose to take this mission on as my own. For me this mission is worth fighting for and its worth giving my time.
The second cause that is important to my wife and I is one of government. I am very thankful that I live here in the United States of America. I am very thankful for all the freedoms and the liberty that we have here in our great nation. This freedom and liberty that we have as American citizens does not come cheap. A comes at a great cost. Our government’s purpose is to protect our citizens rights and way of life. In my experience however, there are some in our leadership that have lost sight of this objective. As a result of this experience that I have, I have decided that I am running for political office. I am running for the position of United States Senator.
These are two causes, two worthy projects of which I am involved. What are the projects that you would like to be involved with? What is it that drives you to action? What does life have for you that you desire to champion a project, to make a project your own? What project, what goal is worthy of your time and your talents and your resources? When you find this goal or this project that is worthy of you, then your life becomes worthy of living.
