I hate saying it, but there are a lot of people out there living a life to simply…… exist. They live to get by and get through the next day… while their dreams and lives remain unfulfilled. For some reason that is enough for them. I truly believe that we should exist for a much bigger reason. We should have a great purpose deep down inside that MUST be filled. Our own individual thing to master, move and stake our claim. Not to just get to next week’s paycheck and “to get by.” I mean – Shouldn’t life mean more than that. When we were kids… we didn’t want to just get by…. we wanted to RULE the world. FIND YOUR “WHY” again!!!
I’m not saying that everyone should go out and build a massive company or do some incredible feat. Greatness can be defined in many ways. I don’t necessarily mean money either. We shouldn’t be living for the weekend—- should we??? We should work to find our why in life. Our purpose for what we are supposed to do on this planet. Have you ever asked yourself what your “why” is? then…. ask…. IS IT BIG ENOUGH??
When you were little – you had such grandiose dreams and great aspirations. We all wanted to be astronauts and we were told to either shoot for the stars, be realistic, or to go to school… get a job… get our gold watch in 60 years…. hahaha. We thought we could do or become anything NO MATTER what anyone said. Somehow along the way, many of us settled for mediocrity. We lost our why and haven’t acknowledged it since. We lost our passions and we settled for the ground floor…… when we could have soared through the clouds….
What happened to those dreams of greatness? What happened to our “why”? What’s your life about? What impact do you want to have on our world? How will your life be remembered by those around you? What would people say about your life after you are gone?
Find your “why” again. Don’t live your life asleep. Don’t be a walking zombie. You don’t want to wake up one day and realize you lost “it” entirely.
You have a masterpiece inside you. One unlike anything that has ever been created, or ever will be. And remember: If you go to your grave without painting your masterpiece, it will not get painted. No one else can paint it. Only you. – Gordon Mackenzie
