Today is November, 1. The start of a new month, and now with Halloween in the rear view mirror, a new season as many look toward Christmas.
If you thought Halloween was scary, what’s scarier is Christmas is less than 8 weeks away. For those of us who own retail businesses that’s a frightening thought.
For my wife Kathy though, it’s the best time of year. She was early into our Chocolate Factory this morning replacing Fall decorations with Christmas, and it’s already taking shape. In fact, as I look at our store cameras, I can see at least 7 trees already in position…and she’s just getting started.
I know that when she arrives home tonight she will be exhausted and exhilarated both.
You want to know why? Because she’s doing what she loves to do. And I love that she is.
In fact, what we do each day is one of the things that matter most to me, and should to you too, in my opinion.
I believe that one of life’s greatest tragedies is living it without knowing why. And I meet many who struggle to figure it out for themselves. They just haven’t nailed down what they should do with their lives. The question they are asking is, “Why am I here?”
I think that’s a great question that deserves an answer. In fact, I believe that we are created by God to do stuff…specific stuff. Things that we are wired for, and gifted to do.
The Bible tells us that “We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)
I think this is more than just doing good in general, as good as that is. But I think this is saying that God has specific things for each of us to do. You might describe this as your calling, marching orders, mission or your personal CTA (call to action).
Whatever you call it, if you’re not sure why you’re here, or you’re not sure what things you are on this planet to do, I encourage you to take the time to discover them. I’m not sure there’s a more important question to answer.
In fact, it’s so important, I wrote a book that I think will help you get the answers you’re looking for.

So this November 1, as this new season is upon us, and the year comes closer to the end, why not make it a priority to get clear on who you are and why you’re here!
Why wait!
