The Purpose of You


At some point in your life you've probably heard the words 'purpose' or 'passion'. You spent so much time thinking what you want to do with your life, only to decide you're going to be just another one of the 'you's: you'll get a 'normal', sought for degree, get a job, and take the 'average' route from there.
You start believing that you've done nothing inspiring, that you'll never be able to change the world, and that you're no different than any person that got a 9-5 job.
But that's a lie. You're not just another you, and you aren't living and dying like just another somebody.
You're different.
You really are.
This life, it's like a building, and every one of us is a part, or a block, that is contributing in the process of setting this piece. If you think your part doesn't count, then whose does?
You may have not discovered the cure for cancer, or a new milky-way. Maybe you didn't save the Earth from global warming, or helped scientists stop pandas from extinction. Maybe it wasn't something remarkable, known or that changed the world. But you changed someone or something, and when you're gone, you'll have served your purpose. And that's enough.
اللهم استخدمنا ولا تستبدلنا.
