Discovering what you’re uniquely positioned to do , based on strengths and talent, THEN going after it VS Passively accepting life and work– and letting life happen to you.
Isn’t that the basic conflict after all?
Whether it’s taking jobs to pay the bills or marrying someone because they happened to talk to you, many are focused only on satisfactory survival. That’s it.
Today, I visited the Parthenon in Paris. The tombs of Aime Cesaire and Curie brought me tears to my eyes, but overall I was overwhelmed with beauty and artistry. Everything made me weep. My kids even caught me crying.
To think that these incredible people will be remembered nationally and across the world for their contributions really put things in perspective for me. While there are many naysayers who believe that we are only on earth for a short time before becoming worm meat, I believe we should all work towards being buried in a place, such as the Parthenon or a proxy.
That, + heaven, is worth it.
