I’m always writing about making an authentic contribution to
a world that works for everyone and everything in it. To me, this is the
ultimate goal, our purpose, the reason we are here. It is the standard by which everything else
we think feel and do is measured, not success, winning, or being a
millionaire. Making an authentic
contribution to a world that works for everyone and everything in it is the
best anyone can do. It is inclusive, not exclusive; it is kind and
compassionate, not rough, tough and uncaring. It is about real people in the
real world, not ideology and perfection.
‘Authentic’ means leading from the heart, the kind
compassionate heart, not the angry, hate-filled heart, and including all four
aspects of being human – spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. It is about
expressing wholeness, vision and intuition as you see them, not as the bible, the law or your mom sees them. It
is about owning and being responsible for what you do, not blaming others,
trying to prove something, make up for past mistakes, hide your shame or unload
your guilt. It is about doing the best you can, when you do something. Not the best you’ve ever done or the best you’re
capable of, but the best you can do right when you do it, in that ‘now.’
‘Contribution’ means something you do in the context of all
of the above, that enhances life for everyone and everything. It doesn’t have
to be huge or great or even appreciated. It could be as small as smiling at a
stranger, picking up a piece of litter, or refraining from anger or blame. You
don’t have to be a CEO, President of the USA
