life purpose

A drop of rain knows not where it lands after it is born from the cloud. It will then either remain in place till it evaporates, or it will try to make its way to the sea. Humans are the same. When they are born, they know not where they will land. However, they can either remain in place and die while accomplishing nothing, or they can find their true destiny.

Awards and recognition are not the purpose of life and not the goal of an activist. The heart of an activist usually resonates the money, or uses the accolades as a foot in the door for more activism and awareness. A place on the wall won’t change the world; it only shows your devotion.

Awareness is a gentle beauty. It hovers around me like a fairy, pointing to those things I would miss if I didn't look past the obvious and on the other side of busy.

Believe me, people do change, and they often change and many times through their lifetime. However, due to naïveness, passivity and selfishness, they commonly change towards a more negative self, becoming less than they were. Positive changes are destined for those that seek them. Our world is, by default, designed to bring us down. In order to go up, one must consciously seek to dream and manifest dreams, by learning, reading, asking meaningful questions and actively making connections with others. One must, at least, love.

Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.
