As people, we tend to forget a lot of things. Nowadays most people seem to care about only two things: Money and Power. Of course everything else that comes along with those two is most welcome.

But people are meant to do more things on this earth than that. We are here for a reason, for a purpose.

Most of my life, i have been wondering about about that, wondering what my purpose on this earth is. And after many long years, i still have more questions than answers. Though there is something that i have come to possess, through this quest that quenches this never ending thirst.

With time, my vision of this world has been forming, and with that a set of beliefs has been deeply rooting within my heart, and soul. Some people call it “morals” or “values”, but for me it is

much more than that.

Through trying to figure out the world, i have come to discover many things, about how the universe works, and how in so many ways i myself am but a small spec, so tiny and microscopic yet a part of something truly grand and majestic beyond what words can describe.

The world, is full of beauty, and energy everywhere you go. Yet a lot of people spend their lifetime unhappy. Why is that?

It all boils down to one simple factor: Perception. How you view the world, what you believe in, ultimately has the power to make you either be a very happy person, or an astoundingly miserable individual with no real feeling of satisfaction no matter what you do.

The world we live in, is the same for everyone. It is but one. Yet one middle class person might have more peace of mind, more joy, more happiness than the rich and famous. I sometimes see on TV people with disabilities accomplishing more, so much more than the average person. Leading fulfilling and joyous lives.

In the face of great difficulties and challenge, some people flourish, while others whither away and die from the inside. Why?

Through your believes, you shape your own world, and you come to reek what you sow. So let me ask you this: What are you currently sowing, and is it driving you?

If you expect to find happiness only through the now critically acclaimed money and power, i am sorry to burst your bubble, but you will be lying to yourself. Those are only tools, meant to aid you on your path towards what truly makes you happy. I know some people with loads of money, who are miserable wrecks.

So do you have what it takes, to truly build and conquer, from the inside out? Do you have enough conviction; or any, for that matter?

Are you going for what you really want, or what everybody else does?
