To live with purpose is to do good things even when no one is looking. It's important to do things right for your own self-worth and integrity. My husband and I were raised to do things right and to not leave a job undone. I know that his mode of operandi is to pitch in whenever he sees something that.... just needs to be done. I worked hard, and still do, to get ALL the squares filled, probably to a fault, leaving no stone unturned until the job is completed.
I recently read an article in Reader's Digest that was titled SEE THE WORK. Simple advice from a quiet woman of few words was, "See the work" which means when you see what needs to be done, do it without being told. If toys are left out, put them away. If dishes are being washed, grab a towel and dry. The list goes on daily....to just see the work.
