We all have a special role to fill in our lives.  We don’t realize the extent to which we impact life unless we show up and take responsibility for doing so. Our lack of awareness is what often leads not only to our suffering but the suffering of others. Not filling our place in life leaves a gap.  The universe abhors a vacuum so invariably someone else is likely to step into filling our place.  But no matter how wonderful they are at filling their place in life, it won’t be a good match for ours.  Like a child playing dress up in her mom’s dress and tripping over it as she walks or a boy putting on his dad’s hat and not being able to see. In some cases, no one may step up and then the world will go without.   We are not meant to fill the role of others, only our own. It is not always obvious when we are not filling our place because over time we settle.  We put up with the void experienced by others and we rationalize our way out of us stepping up and taking responsibility.  We get lost in thinking we have to know all the ins and outs of how to fill the role.  In God’s eyes, we just need to be willing.  Willing to suit up and show up.  We have the courage of love deep in our hearts calling us to our place to fill. It will provide what we need if we stay connected to its source.  God would not imprint upon us a sense of what role we have to fill without giving us what we need to fill it.  We don’t get to know all the ins and outs of how it will happen because that is what life is all about.  The mystery and the adventure of love is in the showing up for the filling.
