Just because they knew Your Name, doesn’t Mean they knew from Where You Came…
January 18, 2010
At one point in my life I truly believed my life would make a difference. The shattered ideology is not so much a dream destroyed, yet a mature realization that the scale of said change would me much more minute than ever thought before.
I guess ignorance leads one to believe their influence will be profound, effecting lives around them and ultimately giving them a sense of not only purpose, but pride.
I can only conclude that perhaps we should stop searching for this ‘All mighty-divininity’ we believe is within us. Our intuition that we will change the world or change the lives of people around us is somewhat eccentric. I have discovered that we should be much more selfish.
Focus on the ‘profound’ differences and changes you can make in your own life. With the knowledge that the only person you can truly ever guarantee on is yourself, I think it’s important to always look out for number one- you.
I sincerely believe that when we begin to focus on our own lives, our own perceptions and our own successes, is when one can truly find purpose. It is only with this understanding we begin to affect the lives of people around us. When your own accomplishments mean more to you than anyone else is when you begin to see yourself precipitate in others .
This is as close we will ever get to achieve our egotistical beliefs that we were ‘different’ or that we were ‘important’. Because really…. We will only ever believe that about ourselves.
