Several years ago when I was a social services director at a nursing home, I read a lot about how to help the patients find meaning in life. I can't remember the author's name that I'm thinking of, but there was one who wrote powerfully, making the point that we are all here in this life to become who we are meant to be. Every section of everybody's life is a part of that journey to becoming. No matter how limited you seem to be right now, if you are still here, you are still becoming. Sometimes it may be a challenge to see how, but if there were no reason for you to still be here, you wouldn't. And you were born for a reason too. Not a mistake.
