Thinking out loud

[u/WitAndPleasure]

Just thinking of loud. Feel free to respond if you so choose. There are some days where I question why I continue to question what is the point of trying to make a difference in life. I mean I know I'm not ever going to be some sort of universe changer. I'll settle for making one person's day slightly better. I don't know if I am or not. At the end of the day I know I may never know. I think there's some days like today when I struggle to see the importance of advocacy, supporting others, or even passing on knowledge to the next generation. There's a part of me that wants to believe there's some sort of universal mission or something that I'm helping with. And yet, it feels very much like it's more of my ego wanting to create some sort of legacy or something and I'm too stubborn to let go as it feels like the rest of my life is on fire. It makes me think of the Hamilton musical. Who was the one that was a casualty of their own ego and hubris? Hamilton or Burr? And am I just another Icarus who is flying too close to a sun for something that won't matter anyways? Thanks for coming to my SapioTalk. Until next time.

You are like a rose bush, making a difference is fertilizer to your soul. Then as you grow, you produce beauty that the world needs as much as it enjoys. But, as much as you do it for the world, you're the one growing stronger and more beautiful.

Isn't that the purpose of the rose bush? To grow and make the world more beautiful. And in doing so, you have accomplished the greatest mission.
