Fires From Within

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.  And then go and do that.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Howard Thurman

Many people drift through life doing what it is that they have to do.  We are trained from an early age to determine what is expected of us and execute.  We ask ourselves what our families need from us, what our friends need from us, what the world needs from us.  These needs and expectations define much of who we are.  What fires you from within?  What are your passions?  What makes you truly come alive?  Identify what animates and inspires you more than anything else.  Ensure that whatever your answers are, they are present in your life.  Make time to pursue those passions and share them with others.  Define yourself by becoming aware.
