The Mordecai Effect

If you will be all you can be, the people around you will be empowered to be all they can be.

If you read the story of Esther in the Bible, you will come across an unsung hero in the story, Esther's uncle, Mordecai. 

Mordecai learned of King Xerxes' edict that was about to extinguish all Jewish people. He went to the gates of the palace where Esther was queen, and openly wept and mourned in sackcloth. Hearing of it, Esther quickly responds by sending out clothing for her uncle; which he refuses as he continues to fast and pray.

Via the palace messengers, Esther finds out about the edict and Mordecai pleads with her to visit the King on behalf of the Jewish people. Knowing that idea was a potential death sentence, Esther initially balked at it. 

Mordecai replied, "Who can say but that God has brought you into the palace for just such a time as this?"  

Esther went for it. She visited the King, saved the Jews, and became all she was meant to be. All this, because Mordecai was all he was meant to be. 

We all need a Mordecai in our lives. And we need to be a Mordecai to others around us. Only then, will we be all that we are truly meant to be.
