The desire to do something can be strong at times and hard to ignore. Especially when it’s pushing or pulling us towards doing something we feel we are meant to do.

For several months I have started to feel like I am meant to do more. Not in the form of regret but I keep getting signs or experiencing things that inspire me and give me a level of energy that can seem intoxicating.

There have been multiple instances or things to trigger this feeling. Meeting someone new and a conversation we have, going somewhere I haven’t been before, reading something, seeing a piece of art, the right scenery, recognizing change or growth in someone, a project at work, etc. The list has been endless.

It’s making it hard for me to ignore and I honestly don’t want to because it’s motivating me to get up earlier, inspiring me to do things I have only thought about before, and I feel like I have a tremendous amount of energy.

This has happened to me so much lately that I think it must be a sign. The challenge for me is understanding it enough to interpret what it’s trying to tell me to do. That way I make the appropriate decisions and take the right actions.

For the longest time I thought I had some big decisions I needed to make or there was some significant thing I needed to do or accomplish. However, the more I think about it I don’t believe I am being called to do one big significant thing. Instead I believe I am being called to live a life of significance.

The greatest of achievements rarely happen in an instance. They happen over a long period of time built from many smaller acts or decisions. Created from past successes and failures alike.

In order for me to live a life of significance I need to regularly work towards becoming the best version of myself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I also need to try and be in the moment and aware to experience and learn as much as I can, be a positive example and influence on those around me, and hopefully make a positive difference in the world.
