I bet you thought I was going to write chicken or the egg!!  Now that I have your attention, I have a question for you.  Are you a chicken or a pig?  I’ll explain…

In everyday life you can either be a participant in it or committed to it. Using breakfast as an example, the chicken was a participant while the pig was absolutely committed!  So, I ask you again, are you a chicken or a pig?  Think about each day.  Do you just go through the motions? Or, do you have meaning to each day, each activity, each interaction with people?  What is your purpose?  What are you about?  What is it that you want to be remembered or known for?  I know, so many questions. 

Personally, I want to help in some way to find a cure for cancer.  Being a survivor of this terrible disease, I work to help raise awareness and funds for research, clinical trials and so places like VCU Massey Cancer Center can continue to treat patients from around the world at their facility regardless of the patients ability to pay.  I want to inspire others to get involved in some way.  I want to inspire others to get involved with something that will give them a sense of pride that they have done something good.  Aspire to be committed to this life, not just a participant. Don’t just go through the motions.  Have a purpose for each day and be thankful you are here to enjoy each day.

So, look at yourself in the mirror and ask you if you are a chicken or a pig. Participant or committed?
