human beings seem to have this uncanny knack for never taking things seriously enough. if we ever do find it in ourselves to take anything seriously, we usually become preoccupied with things that, in the end, will mean nothing to us, to our immediate loved ones, or to humanity in general.
if i am to walk this earth, i will walk it to change it by just being here. if i am to breathe this air, i will exhale excellence and truth. if i am to eat and drink, i will share my meals with the unwanted and toast my drinks with those less fortunate than myself.
i want my life to mean something. and not just anything.
just anything is not good enough for me.
i want it to mean something very specific. when people hear my name or my story, i want it to leave a legacy of my complete and total worthlessness without You. and of my ability to leave a signature on humanity and on history because i allowed You to carve Your signature into me.
mark Your mercy on my unfaithfulness.
whittle Your wisdom out of my foolishness.
sign Your very Self as an approval of my life, despite my weaknesses.
i will not leave this planet without first showing You off in the way only You deserve.
