The INFJ motto is "Help Me Help You". We live our lives constantly striving to improve - not just ourselves but the rest of the world as well. For some of us, our life's mission is simply to make a difference for the better - to make this world a better place, one life at a time.
I recently posted on my Facebook that where there are people, there is a chance to make a difference, one life at a time. Now, what do I mean by that? I mean that each of us have a duty to make an impact. Each of us can affect another person by the way we live our lives - our actions, our words, and how we relate to other people. So, as we each affect the people around us, they, in turn, will affect the people they encounter in their lives too.
"What is not transformed is transmitted" - Fr John Jesus Moloney CSJ
These are the words of my parish priest from my home parish in London. I'll never forget them. They seek to make one reflect on who we are and what we are doing here - our mission to the people we encounter. You know that famous phrase, "everything happens for a reason"? Well, you have a reason, a purpose, a meaning, each and every one of you. You just need to discover yourself and find the true meaning and purpose of your life, and the only way is to transform all negativity into positivity.
Every challenge and trial is a learning experience.
Every failure is making you stronger and preparing you to succeed much better and achieve higher and bigger dreams.
Every door shut is because it was never meant for you in the first place, and greater things await you.
Reflect on the above three phrases. Think about them. Let them soak into your soul. Realise that there is so much more to life than just going about your daily routine. Your routine gives you structure, but your purpose and meaning give you something to look forward to everyday. Whether you are a shop assistant, a cleaner, a doctor or a CEO, remember that YOU can affect the people you meet everyday. YOUR SMILE can lighten up someone's day. YOUR WORDS can give a person hope for the future. Remember that YOU are important, and that YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
