What is Your Contribution?

I also believe that if we pay attention to our how we show up in the world and what we contribute, we will find our answer to our purpose and our callings.

It is like swimming in the water but not recognizing the water in which we swim. Our contribution and our purpose are interwoven.

Here is the tricky part: if we are not conscious of our contribution then we may be contributing to this world in a way that does not align with our integrity and our values. So we need to pay attention and bring our awareness of our values to the forefront.

To know your values is to know what lights you up and what frustrates you. These are the markers to what is most important to you. If you desire more satisfaction and fulfillment in your life, then use your values as the roadmap. If you value teamwork but are working alone, then you will feel unfulfilled. If you value a thriving planet but work for a company that does harm to the planet, you will feel out of alignment. If you value communication but work on a dysfunctional team that does not communicate, you will feel alone and frustrated.

Choose your contribution consciously. Align your work and your values with intention. This is where you will find deeper satisfaction and fulfillment. And if you can’t find it at work, then find it through volunteering and your community. But no matter what, give yourself fully to what matters most to you.
