What's the thing that keeps you awake at night or theideas that you ponder in your mind that make everythinginside of you come alive? What is that thing or issuethat moves you to tears or causes you to act or respondwith great passion and conviction? Could that be the causeor purpose you've been created to live for individually?What are the things that burden us corporately when we seeit or experience them? Could those be the things we'vebeen created to change, reform, or destroy to establishsomething new? The sacrifices that a cause will demandwill kill every option that would lead us to change ourminds or settle for anything less than our expected goal.The sacrificial power of a purpose-driven cause will forceus to step away from relationships, friends, mindsets, andhabits that threaten our progression toward fulfilling theplan we're passionately pursuing.I'm troubled by the thought that if history was to berewritten today our generation will have lived withoutadding any significant value to the world we live intoday. I'm not trying to be negative in my thoughts andviews about our generation. I'm just trying to take a reallook at where we are and where we're headed.Yes! We'vegained access to more money and education than ever beforebut how are we using those things to deposit something ofvalue into the earth. I'm sick and tired of celebratingthe heroes' of times past that lived for causes thatimproved our communities, culture, and way of life. I dorespect and appreciate them all because they've offeredtheir contribution to life that paved the way for us. Myquestion today is when will we offer our contribution?When will we understand our true purpose? When will westart thinking about the unborn generations and the littlechildren that are in elementary school? You know, the onlyhope they really have for survival is us! When we die willit have even mattered that we were born? The discovery ofour true purpose will unlock the answer to this question."Live for a cause that's larger than you."Eric T. Little
