I do not know about you, but I find it rather difficult to exist without a purpose.

Your purpose is the final assembly of all elements that comprise you. Your character, your principles, your beliefs, your passions. Your purpose is what renders you an insurmountable force among the many. Among the masses. Your purpose is the deliverable that you offer unto the world’s table, even in times when the world appears to have no table. Your purpose is what no one else has the capacity to bend, alter, warp, nor poison. Only you can do this. Your purpose is you.

Tell me. Are you you? Or rather, who are you without your purpose? Really, who are you? Who are you choosing to become? Have you ever pondered this? Have you ever dared?

Dare to ask this now. Dare to become your purpose.
