Some Good Words On A Sunday...

A Letter to the Hearts of My Generation:

Love,

I want more for you than the pain you’ve grown so accustomed to feeling and carrying around. Life isn’t meant for suffering. Life isn’t about disappointments and fears and isolating yourself. Life means so much more than what you’ve experienced up until this point. There’s so much more to learn, so much more to see, and so much more to do. Don’t live your life discouraged, that’s not living at all. Things haven’t worked out perfectly for you because perfection isn’t possible, even excellence isn’t appreciated without mistakes.

Your story, your testimony, your life; it all has more value than you know. We were not put here to be islands; we were put here to be blessings. Greatness isn’t something God only gives to a select few, greatness is in all of us but unfortunately it’s only cultivated by some of us. You are still alive and well enough to read these words for a reason. Whatever happened to you didn’t kill you, it may have hurt, but it wasn’t strong enough to break you so don’t allow it to stop you from moving forward. You are more than your pain. You are more than your heartbreaks. You are more than your mistakes. Your mission on this Earth is not just to survive; your mission is to thrive. Don’t let the world intimidate you and get you to believe that you are behind. You are not behind, in fact, you are exactly where you should be. Today, this very moment, is the perfect opportunity to make dreams come true.

Get motivated to do something. If you don’t know what your passion or purpose is, start volunteering your time to finding it. Pick up a book or do an internet search, start actively seeking things that will bring you long term fulfillment, not just temporary happiness. There is no dollar value that can be attached to success. If you’re chasing money you’ll be running in circles the rest of your life. Instead, find something that you’re willing to die for, and then live for it.

When you leave this Earth, will your life be remembered? Will you being alive have meant something to the world? Will people know what was important to you? Will people be better because they knew you? Service is success.

You have to believe that there is more to life and you have to be courageous enough to pursue whatever that is for you. You deserve joy, you deserve love, you deserve peace. Start giving your time to the things that really matter. Start putting forth the effort to making your dreams a reality. Start appreciating the moments that give your life true value.

This world will never be perfect, but it should be better because you exist. I believe in the greatness of your heart and it’s time you start showing the world.
