Do you eat M&Ms? What’s your favorite kind; plain, peanut, peanut butter, almond, crispy, or minis?

Do you know the history of M&M’s? Who would have guessed that the idea for “M&M’s”® Plain Chocolate Candies was born in the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War? Legend has it that on a trip to Spain, Forrest Mars Sr. encountered soldiers who were eating pellets of chocolate that were encased in a hard sugary coating to prevent them from melting. Inspired by this idea, Mr. Mars went back to his kitchen and invented the recipe for “M&M’s”® Plain Chocolate Candies.

M&M’s were first sold to the public in 1941. “M&M’s”® Plain Chocolate Candies became a favorite of American GIs serving in World War II. Packaged in cardboard tubes, “M&M’s”® Plain Chocolate Candies were sold to the military as a convenient snack that traveled well in any climate. By the late 1940’s, they became widely available to the public, who gave them an excellent reception. In 1948, the packaging changed from a tube form to the characteristic pouches known today.

Just like the famous twists, e.g. packaging, colors and different varieties that Mr. Mars was inspired to do with pellets of hard covered chocolate, there is always something else waiting to be introduced in a new light.

Right now there is something under your nose, just waiting to be given a new look or to be used in a new way. I am always fascinated by the fact that there aren’t really that many new ideas; there are mostly old ideas with new twists.

For example a few years back my husband had been praying diligently to be inspired with an idea that would have a positive impact on others. After months of asking, an idea hit him like a bolt of lightening. An idea that we now sell hundreds of thousands of each year. An idea that people say to us all the time, “now why didn’t I think of that?” In fact when he told me I said, “we have been in business how long and we, haven’t thought of that?”

So what was this great, inspired idea? Well we call them Lipnotes www.lipnotes.com They are all natural lip balms. Nothing spectacular about that right? Except that they are the best lip balms on the market. But that’s not the point. The magic was what he was inspired to put on the outside of the lip balms, and we sell thousands of them. Who would of thought?

I believe that everyone came to this earth with endless possibilities just waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately most people never consider their endless possibilities.

“Everyone was born for greatness. Few ever consider the possibility. Even fewer will test this theory. And even fewer will do what it takes long enough to discover the greatness that lies within.”—Becca Levie

How about you? How often do you consider your possibilities?

“Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you’re right.” —Henry Ford

I write everyday on Life On Purpose because my experience proves to me that indeed when we trust in our Creator and do our part, He can and will show us what works of greatness he has in store for each of us. This is the purpose of Life On Purpose, to assist you on your journey of self discovery.

So what can you do to start connecting with your Creator, to open the door of communication with Him? Talk to Him like you would your best friend and then concentrate on listening and hearing His will for your life. Learn His ways.

Then pay attention to thoughts and sudden inspirations. If you find yourself drawn to a particular subject, place or person, investigate them. Life is full of signs, and they are all around us.
