Every day that goes by, you hear new information that forms opinions and perspectives and informs your attitude, words and actions.

Think of the things that you take into your eyes and ears as lenses through which you see the world.

As the days, weeks, months and years pass, you continue to take in new information which changes you and the way you see the world. You learn and grow.

So, what does all this have to do with your purpose?

The point is that if you asked yourself questions of this nature in the past, your answers then may be very different from your answers now.

Value yourself and your purpose enough to take the time to really consider your current answers to these, and all of the other questions, in this series.

Hopefully your answers will create a path that you can follow toward your unique-in-all-the-world purpose. There are people who need you and what you can do and what you know and the value you bring. They're waiting.

It's time to revisit the things we're interested in, our opinions, judgments and about specific details about yourself.

Tomorrow is a brand new day, so start fresh by saying YES to opportunities to use your strengths and abilities to help others.

If you hate yourself, there are three things you can do TODAY--

We, being created in God's image, possess an immense capacity for creativity. Creativity comes in various forms and everyone is expected to use their unique creative skills.

We have a shared responsibility to create positive relationships in our families, our neighborhoods, and in our communities. We can do this through small acts of kindness and by fostering connections.

This may involve standing up against inappropriate behavior in our families, workplaces and neighborhoods. We can boldly set the tone for a positive atmosphere! (Think Rosa Parks--we can do what's right regardless of the bullies who behave otherwise!)

Too many people leave their Christian faith each year. Instead of Christians influencing the culture, the culture is influencing us.

Small compromises in behavior, such as engaging in inappropriate humor, watching explicit content, or listening to certain music, can slowly change a person's values and beliefs, leading to a departure from those values and the faith from which they emanate.

It's incumbent upon each of us to live our faith and to share its benefits, even amidst challenges. We need not impose our faith on anyone but we should instead demonstrate it through love and good deeds.

A person, a neighborhood, a workplace or a community that is characterized by faith and love is attractive and inspiring to others.

Our purpose is found in our creative ability to influence the people around us in a positive, helpful way. To do this, it's helpful to find purpose and service in one's work, rather than viewing work as a necessary drudgery. Consider how your work benefits others, rather than focusing on your own personal gain.

Think of ways to help the most vulnerable in your community. For example, collecting sweaters, coats, and blankets for the homeless, or asking for volunteers to join existing community projects. Check to see what opportunities to serve already exist in your area, but you don't have to wait for someone else to come up with an idea. You can take the initiative to serve.

Helping others can be life-changing for the people you help AND FOR YOU! It can lead to unexpected friendships and enriching experiences. It's not always easy, and it's possible that we'll face obstacles but our perseverance in doing good will pay off!

The importance of creative expression of love can provide a stable sense of worth that cannot be taken away. If you will adopt a mindset of putting your love into action, especially with people who cannot reciprocate, you will be influencing the culture for good.

You don't have to be a Christian to do this, but Christians are supposed to be known for our love and kindness. Let's influence the culture rather than confirming to it by withholding our charitable actions from those who need them most.
