Another piece of advice: don't compare yourself to others, because comparison is poison. And above all, don't try to please, you should rather persist in the path you've chosen. As human beings, we have a goal, and it's up to us to achieve it. That's our purpose, our reason for being. In fact, purpose always precedes product.
Each of us feels obliged to find our own raison d'être. It's something rooted in human nature that tells us we're here for a purpose.
I'm talking about the purpose of our life, which must precede life itself, and life is the result of this purpose. It's not something we can create after we're born.
Speaking of purpose, we understand that purpose comes before fact. You don't build a car until you know what it's for. When you need to get quickly from where you are to where you want to go, you invent a car - the purpose always precedes the product.
Finally, we have a certain influence, on a certain number of people, in a limited field and that's it, we do our bit and have an effect on our little part of the cosmos.
A final word of advice: Don't think about death! There's nothing positive about it. It takes you away from life, your life. It's yours, and yours to cherish. Love it and hold on to it, especially as it is sometimes short.
I'd like to share my website with you, if you're curious to find out more. Its name refers to my first love, dating back to my tender youth. www.WisdomWhereAreYou.com'´
I spoke earlier of action, and here's its final word. Yes, we live in a generation of action, where "well done" is far better than "well said".
P.S. I must confess to having retained a few notes from Manis Friedman's latest book, "Creating a Life That Matters".
