What is the fundamental need behind expression? Is it identity, passion, being, knowing?
What do we do with knowledge of ourselves and each other? What we dream and imagine, our choices shaping our path within spacetime, but where are we going, and most importantly why?
These same questions have faced each generation as they searched for who they were and what they needed. Each answer igniting a spark of direction for both the individual and the collective community.
We dream and imagine what we want our world to be, imagining new possibilities as we look inwards. Once we find our calling, our purpose, it becomes who we are, made tangible. We fuel our purpose as our purpose propels us forwards.
Passion in purpose, tempered by compassion leads us to evolve. To grow who we are today by the embers of yesterday and the potential of tomorrow. Purpose is only ever found in today. It lives within each of us like a second heartbeat. Even when we don’t realize it, our purpose is ever present in the passions that fuel our progress.
When you truly love what you do, when you live your purpose, you add more dimension to yourself and your world. Passion and purpose spur innovations, inventions, evolutions of feelings and thoughts, creations and unions.
Purpose can be found anywhere and in every one. Each contribution, each echo of impassioned purpose fuels our here and now. Today each of you are alive in a world surrounded by the miracles of creation as well as apart of creation.
Adding to, and evolving our collective purpose, the drive that moves us all forwards towards another day. We must live life purposefully so that we live our best lives and contribute to the collective.
Life is fleeting, its beauty not in its permanence but its impermanence. Each day that you live without that purpose, that passion for life you do yourself a disservice.
Life is to be lived and not watched, which we all seem to do now. We watch ourselves as we live a life that doesn’t spark a chord within us. Experiencing life through our handheld looking glass. Searching the horizon for the white rabbit called the future. Going through the motions, hoping tomorrow will be better while we fail to improve today.
We as a species need beauty, wonder, variety, learning, teaching and striving towards who we are. Our hearts must beat in unity with our jobs, our lives, our dreams and with each other. Without this passion, this heartbeat of our soul, life stagnates and leaves us empty.
Our passions are the handprints we leave behind on the world like echos from the past. Reaching forwards through the years, finding common hearts in our descendants to embolden their passion and purpose. Those acts of purpose shaping our minds, hearts and institutions as we march ever farther forwards towards our hopes and dreams.
Within each of us lies infinite potential unbound with possibility. We can be who we want to be, who we were born to be, love any gender, travel and dance, sing and sculpt, write and march forwards together.
Our purpose and passion fueling our hopes and dreams, taking them from thoughts to words, words to ideas, ideas to actions and actions to change. Each singular purpose adding to the collective purpose of our species. A definition for eternity to reflect who we were, the collective memory and deeds of our species.
Live your life through your passions, if you love to draw then draw the stars, paint the oceans blue, sculpt the idea, literate the heart and move the soul. Enjoy what you do and find the life you don’t need an escape from, one where you love everything you do and are. A world where compassion, identity and Expression form our evolution.
Do you think Beethoven, Michelangelo, or Einstein lived without purpose? Their empassioned purpose echos all around us as the Human Race continues their legacies. They choose to find their passion and lived it each day which is how we remember them, why we honour their passions made real. We must all claim our passion, live like today is the only day to start. We are each of us the everlasting echo of our ancestors and the infinite potential of our descendants.
Each generation building on the works of the past creating new possibilities for all our people. Together we can do anything we put our minds and hearts to for we all have purpose, to live, laugh, love, survive, adding your voice to the song of a passionate people. The great symphony of Humankind echoing across generations to lift us all higher.
When you truly love what you do in all aspects you not only contribute to yourself more, but society in more profound ways than you can know. So go out, be bold, be fearless, ignite your passion and purpose within yourself and others and that impassioned purpose will give us all wings.
