“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice” ~ Indian Proverb.
“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give” ~ Sir Winston Churchill.
Each of us is uniquely created with a distinct design. We are all meant to thrive through interdependence.
No one in this world can truly claim to be completely independent and not in need of others.
I want to remind and encourage you of how important and relevant you are to humanity. I want you to realize that you have something to contribute to the well-being of the world.
No matter what your situation or background is, you possess something that is uniquely yours.
I am deeply concerned about some of the negative questions being raised on a prominent website.
To make matters worse they are coming from kids as young as 15 years of age. Most of the questions are to do with giving up on life.
Imagine a 15-year-old who feels overwhelmed by life, ready to give up before truly beginning to live. How sad indeed.
I often ask myself this question: What if Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, Thomas A. Edison, and many other great inventors and discoverers had given up before making their breakthroughs? How different would the world be today?
Your gifts and talents may not amount or match the great discoverers and inventors of the past, but it plays a very significant role in the advancement of humanity.
You have a very significant and important role to play on earth. Myles Monroe says the richest place on earth is the graveyard.
This is where you discover inventions that never came to be; dreams that were never fulfilled; songs that were never sung; buildings that were never constructed and many other things that the world has been deprived of.
I pray and hope that you will not be a graveyard statistic but will leave a meaningful and positive legacy that endures.
Ask not what the world will do for you but, what you will do for the world. Stop thinking from within the box and in fact, remove the box altogether.
The human race is like a body. The body cannot function properly with a missing part, it may function but with a lot of difficulties.
Do not be those missing parts. Do not rob the world of your talents and gifts. Do not deprive us of your contribution to humanity. We greatly need them. You are not living by accident or by chance but for a reason and for a greater purpose.
If you are almost giving up on your life sit down and thank God that you are still alive. Many are struggling to hang on to life yet you have it for free. The fact that you are still alive means that you have something to give.
There are so many things to thank your creator for and let alone obey his guiding words by dedicating your life to contributing to the wellbeing of humanity.
No contribution is too small; everything adds up to make a difference. It’s high time you started using your mind constructively.
You see everything is conceived in the mind. Our minds are the workshops for all that we see.
Our minds are power engines of our lives. The real secret of power is the consciousness of power.
The more conscious we become of our unity with this mind, the less conscious we shall become of conditions and limitations, and as we become emancipated or freed from conditions we come into a realization of the unconditional.
We have become free! We have removed the box. We have evolved.
The ability to eliminate imperfect conditions depends upon mental action, and mental action depends upon consciousness of power; therefore, the more conscious we become of our unity with the source of all power, the greater will be our power to control and master every condition.
Conclusion
Every human being including is as important as the next one and the one before. I want to encourage you not to look down upon yourself.
You were created to contribute to humanity and your contribution is valuable.
This all starts with you realizing and appreciating how important you are to the whole world. DO NOT rob us of your gifts and talents.
Just like you have benefited from the inventors of computers we also want to benefit from you.
