Online guestbook at www.maglebymortuary.com Every1Counts Finding Purpose & Mission ByCynthia CynthiaKimball KimballHumphreys Humphreys By I recently conducted a “You Matter No Matter What” presentation for an annual training for Six County Association of Government’s which includes Juab, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, and Wayne counties. And there, after my presentation, I was approached by a woman I’ll call Betty who told me she sobbed through my entire presentation. She had recently gotten divorced after 21 years and felt like a failure with no purpose in life. “That presentation was what I needed to hear,” she said. “I’m so glad,” I told her as we hugged. Betty proceeded to tell me that she was depressed and found it hard to function. She said that her coworkers were even trying to help her get out of her slump. Conversing with Betty I would never have guessed she was having troubles. She was alert, beautiful inside and out and just had a charming spirit about her. Betty reminded me of how we can see someone and think they are okay, but deep down they may not feel loved, important, valued or appreciated. They may wonder why they exist. They may feel that if they left this world no one would notice or care. The good news, and there is plenty of it, is that each one of us matters. Each one of us has a reason for our existence. Please don’t ever feel like a failure. If someone has ever called you that or something ridiculous like “stupid” or “weird” or any other kind of name or label, don’t believe it. Not for one minute. I correspond with two young inmates. One is serving until the fall of 2011 because he was caught with drugs and a firearm in his car. In high school, he’s 20 years old now; he was an honor student and a star athlete that could have gotten a basketball scholarship to The University of Oregon. But, one time when he got injured he hung around a crowd of kids who were involved with drugs. And before long, he was heavily dependent on drugs and “needed” the highs to function. The worst part is that he’s one of the nicest people I have ever met and truly wouldn’t hurt a fly. He recently wrote me after I told him to look at his time in jail as an “internship”. “I’m happy and looking forward to this experience to get experience, knowledge, and become clean. I know no matter what it will be positive.” Each one of us has talents and gifts. Each one of us has value and purpose. If you’re hanging around people that tell you “you don’t matter” than you need to find different people to associate with. They are out there. Look for them. What a great tribute to our country You could have heard a pin drop JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded “Does that include those who are buried here?” DeGaulle did not respond. You could have heard a pin drop. When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush. He answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.’ You could have heard a pin drop. There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?’ A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ‘Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?’ You could have heard a pin drop. A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, ‘Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?’ Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, ‘Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.’ You could have heard a pin drop. AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE... Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. “You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. “Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.” The American said,’The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.” “Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !” The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ‘’Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.” You could have heard a pin drop. Think about whose presence you feel good in. Believe in yourself. Tell yourself you matter. Don’t give up, no matter what. Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, author, physician, and psychiatrist said, “Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone’s task is unique as his specific opportunity.” Choose today, no matter what is happening in your life, to figure out your specific purpose or mission in life. And for those of you who already know yours, the greatest gift you can give another human being is helping them find theirs. Doing the latter is one of the most important works you will ever do or what A.
