Do you know why you were born? You were born to make a difference in this world.

There are two MAIN motivations for all that you do in this life and when you include these as an integral part of your life goals and passions you will be COMPLETELY fulfilled in life.

The fact is that key to discovering your COMPLETE fulfillment in life pursuing these two main values in life, allowing them to influence everything else you do.

• Embrace, discover and grow into a strong relationship and fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.
• Seek to make a difference in the lives of everyone around you – and indeed reach out to this world to make a difference.

This photo shows an example of one man, who together with his army platoon made a difference in the life of a little girl from Iraq. There is a story that goes with this photo and it begins like this:

Noor, a young girl receiving eye surgery in the U.S., entertains 1st Lt. Michael Kendrick while he eats breakfast at her family’s house in al-Buaytha, Iraq, May 25. Noor suffers from sclerocornea, a condition which has left her blind since birth. With help from Kendrick and other Soldiers of 1-30th Inf. Regt., she is traveling to the U.S. for surgery that may restore her vision.

There is no doubt that Stg Kendrick and his platoon were not in Iraq looking for little girls with eye problems to send to the USA for surgery. It was the their value system which is founded on the desire to make a difference in the lives of others that opened their eyes to this need and have them the desire and compassion to reach out and help.

And when your life motivation is based on these two main passions:

• Seek a close relationship with God.
• Seek to make a difference in this world

then it will always be natural to reach out and make a difference in the lives of those around you. It all starts with your core values.
