Illuminating Mankind

in Purpose of Life

Just because I do not paint, dance, sculpt, does not mean I lack cre­ativ­ity. Find­ing how to bring light to the world is the most cre­ative action.

Dur­ing my adver­tis­ing career, I felt that I was hid­ing my light under a bushel, as the say­ing goes. Inter­est­ingly, it was my hair­dresser who set me straight. I expressed to him how sell­ing adver­tis­ing seemed so mun­dane and not at all con­nected to a greater purpose.

Every per­son you meet, every hand you shake, is an oppor­tu­nity to share your light and under­stand­ing. Serve where you are at,” he said.

It’s been many years since that con­ver­sa­tion but I replay it in my head when ques­tion­ing the tim­ing of life hap­pen­ings or my pur­pose in life.

The great­est cre­ativ­ity is to bring illu­mi­na­tion to mankind.
