Dear God,

I am doing the best that I can. – Children’s Letters to God

Sometimes all we can do is all we can do.

“Maybe my talent is being a good listener,” said John. “Maybe I’m not supposed to be rich and famous. I’m supposed to be the person who just sits and listens.”

The world needs listeners, too.

If everyone were the storyteller, it would be a noisy place, and no one would ever get to hear the stories.

Maybe you are a storyteller; maybe you are a listener.

Maybe both.

Maybe it will be your path to achieve recognition and fame; maybe yours is an anonymous path of service.

If you’ve done all you can-whether it’s to pursue your dreams, work on that relationship, help someone else, or take care of yourself-then you’ve done your part.

Maybe all we can do is all we’re meant to do, that day.
