It is My Job

By Linda Ferguson on June 21, 2011

It’s not my job to fix someone else

It is my job to be the radiance and splendor of Who I Am

It’s not my job to judge others’ mistakes

It is my job to be a role model of someone doing their best

It’s not my job to tell others how to live or work

It is my job to walk the path of love, balance, and integrity

It’s not my job to show others when they’ve messed up

It is my job to remind others of their greatness and beauty

It’s not my job to point out when others are wrong

It is my job to speak my truth even when it is difficult to do so

It’s not my job to ask “What’s in it for me?”

It is my job to wake up every morning and ask, “How then shall I serve?”

*********

For a moving and inspiring video of someone who faced adversity and didn’t give up on himself-

Inspirational Story

Here are the lyrics to his song:

In my imagination I see a fair world,
Everyone lives in peace and in honesty there.
I dream of souls that are always free,
…Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
