We are all born with meaning; these meanings serve as the essential contributions to a fulfilled life journey. We enter this world unknown, yet we are destined to be something greater than our current state. However, we eventually encounter the most pressing of questions: “Who am I?”
We ask this not because we are lost within ourselves, but because our greatest concern is not our identity, it is what can be created from that identity. We must ask: What meaning can we bring into existence? This is the most complex aspect of our lives, as is the potential held within our daily wishes and actions. These facets of existence turn into questions that our lives have yet to explain, and sometimes, no answer is given until the very end.
Our greatest fear of being lost comes not from a lack of self-knowledge, but from a misunderstanding of the direction we are meant to take. Our desperation to be and do more is what separates us from the limitations of our own history. The whole new world we all dream of, and the realization of those dreams, is found in the way our greatness serves. Our hope is transformed by our desperation to be more and do more, turning our hidden potential into a shared reality.
Regardless of our roles, we all harbor questions about our reasons for being and the hope that sustains us. The more we grow, the more we desire to achieve. This drive is what separates the ordinary from those desperate for possibility. Within each of us sits a spirit that craves something greater. To find our way, we must ask: What more can we do to truly accomplish our goals? How much time must we invest before realizing that our current actions may not be our true responsibility? If we must seek the meaning of our lives, who should we ask, and why?
The answer is self-defined, found in our interests and the unique responsibility we choose to carry in the world around us. By accepting these initiatives as our responsibility, we create a new standard of life for ourselves and for generations to come. That whole new world we all envision, and the true realization of those aspirations, is established in the way our greatness serves the world around us. Our hope is redefined by our desperation to be more and do more, shifting our hidden potential into a shared reality for the future.
