“Don’t worry about what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” — Howard Thurman
I believe you were born, brought into existence here on earth because you are needed — your talents, your presence, your vitality. Your job, then, is to fully immerse yourself in the human experience as only you can, and to live this life, your life, completely.
I don’t know how else to explain why we’re here and what we ought to be doing while we’re here other than to explore our interior and exterior landscapes in a way that only each of us can, and to give by way of living our life fully. I mean every single square inch and moment of it.
You don’t have to know what that looks like, and in fact you can’t possibly predict or even imagine how it will play out. The only thing you can do is be open and willing, fully, honestly, completely WILLING, and say YES to life.
“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us… What are you willing to give up, in order to become who you really need to be?” — Elizabeth Gilbert
