Have you ever taken the time to actually read the wrappers of the food you eat? A number of products are more than just nutrition or sheer satisfaction; they’re also little snippets of wisdom wrapped around organic something or others – take for example the message on a Clif Energy Bar penned by Gary, the founder and Owner of the company. He talks about trekking in Nepal and associating the climb to business and life – “each campsite is a beautiful destination in itself – not simply a means to an end” … and how about some of my favorites that appear on the inside of the Dove chocolate wrappers , which by the way I have taped to the bottom of my computer screen – “Find your passion” and “Be fearless.” They call the messages Promises Messages – like promises you make to yourself. It doesn’t matter where you find your inspiration – just get inspired! About life, about people, about giving back, about making a difference, doing your part, being present. I believe we’re all on this earth for a reason – we all have a gift and we all have something to contribute. We may not know exactly what our purpose is but we should all embrace the concept that our gift matters. Whatever your gift may be, don’t waste it!
