A Simple Act

How many times do you find yourself contemplating what your life's purpose is?  How many times do you say to yourself or others "there is something I'm supposed to be doing, only I just don't know what"?  There is a mission in life that each one has to accomplish, but maybe we put to much pressure on finding it than living it.  Maybe our mission is as simple as a chance remark that we make to a friend in need, or a kind gesture that we make to a stranger.  I want to describe it like "the ripple effect", (The ripple effect is a term used to describe a situation where, like the ever expanding ripples across water when an object is dropped into it, an effect from an initial state can be followed outwards incrementally.)  We just never know the impact our actions or words have not only to another but to life in general.   For example,  maybe that individual seeking employment who isn't exactly qualified but you give them a chance turns out to be "a diamond in the rough" and makes your company not only more productive but prosperous.  Or that child that you foster or adopt grows up with a sense of pride,  self-confidence and through your love becomes a doctor who will develop an new medical procedure that will save literally thousand of lives. We never know what we've been called here to do.  If it is something so important as a new discovery or a simple act.   I'd like to think that my writing is "my simple act,  my mission in life" and that someone, somewhere will get what they need to better not only themselves but the world.
