How Many Differences Do You Want Make?

How Many Differences Do You Want Make?

This week we share a powerful message from Roy Williams. We often hear, I wish I knew what my purpose is or how do you know what your purpose is?

Roy’s message gives us some great insight into discovering the answer to those questions.

Billy Sunday was born in 1862, the second year of America’s Civil War. He died in 1935, during the Great Depression. Billy was a wildly flamboyant and controversial preacher, but he made an interesting observation:

“More men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent.”

We’ll talk more about purpose in just a minute, but first we need to talk about possibilities.

I will say it plainly:

  1. What you see in the mirror isn’t you.
  2. Look inside yourself and take inventory of what you find there.
  3. Realize that this is all you have to work with.
  4. Make the best of it.

I will say it as Confucius might have said it:

  1. Gilded paper and bright ribbons adorn an empty vessel while gold hides in a rough wooden box.
  2. You will not find what is not there. But what lies inside you is easy to see.
  3. Everything within you is all that you have.
  4. Therefore, it must be enough.

I will say it like an old warrior:

  1. Fancy uniforms don’t win battles.
  2. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, it’s the size of fight in the dog.
  3. If you don’t have it in you, it doesn’t exist.
  4. Learn to use what you’ve got.

This is how Yoda would have said it:

  1. Be invisible, you will.
  2. Inside yourself, you must look.
  3. Flaws, you shall find.
  4. Magic, these are.

I will say it as someone who loves you:

  1. You are the perfect you.
  2. No one else can be you as well as you can.
  3. You will be you for the rest of your life.
  4. It is time to discover what you can do.

And now it is time to talk about purpose again.

A sad voice inside you whispers: “Everyone talks about purpose, but no one can tell me what it is, or where to find it.”

Quit listening to that whiner. Purpose is given to you by what you care about. Is there anything you care about?

Of course there is.

Are you ready for the real mind-blower?

Purpose is given to you by everything you care about. You are overflowing with purpose. The problem is that you care about so many things that you are having a hard time choosing a purpose.

Here is the good and happy news: You can have more than one purpose!

In fact, you already do; and you have what it takes to make a difference.

How many differences do you want to make?

Pick two or three of them to get started. You can add other ones later, when you have taken these first ones as far as you choose to go. Sooner or later, you’ll choose a few that will sink deep roots in you.

Every oak tree begins as an acorn.

Now go. Get started.
