Ask yourself an important, life-changing question. Ask yourself what you truly desire from life. Who is the person you really want to become? What is the life you truly want to lead? What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does it sound like? Who is there with you? What kinds of activities are you enjoying? What challenges do you seek to fulfill your special possibilities?
Don't rely on someone else's dreams. Find and follow your own. Get in touch with your own most deeply held desires. They are yours for a reason. They are yours so that you may fulfill your own unique purpose and possibilities. Your life matters very much. It cannot be replaced and it cannot be duplicated. You are the person who has the privilege of living it, the person who will make it a grand and shining achievement, the person who can fulfill its incredible promise.
Ask yourself what you truly desire, and then ask yourself why. Why do you desire the things you desire? Why do some things fill you with joy and other things make you incredibly sad? There is an unstoppable, driving purpose to your life. At times of great joy, at times of genuine excitement, at times of profound sorrow, you can feel that purpose. It is an intense experience to do so, yet a reassuring one as well. Because it lets you know you are alive. There is a special meaning in this universe that exists in the person you are. Ask yourself why. Find that meaning. Find that purpose. Spend time with it. Get to know it. Seek to understand and enable it.
Then, armed with the intimate knowledge of the what and the why of your life, make the commitment to move forward. Make the commitment to get up and take action. Make the commitment to fulfill your most glorious possibilities. Decide that you will be true to your purpose, true to your dreams, your goals, your most sincere desires. No matter what.
