Life isn’t about fair or unfair it’s about purpose. And that purpose supersedes all else because it is connected to the soul. We are born with it and created for it. But that purpose is a lifelong endeavor, which ultimately means that we, at times, may perceive our lives as being unfair due to being directed in areas we feel we don’t wish to go. In actuality however, if we understood what impact that purpose has on humanity, we would be in awe as to how little of a sacrifice we were required to give for such an incredible contribution to the betterment of God’s creation.

Understanding your place in life means coming to terms with the pieces strewn about in your head. Finding that place means getting them out of your head and setting them in place. Realization you are where you’re supposed to be is finally seeing those pieces connected to everyone else’s pieces. Life is an unfinished puzzle with your small pieces making a larger piece which then adds to a whole bringing it closer to completion.

Sometimes we need burn things down, torch a swath and set parts of our past ablaze. Every civilization began in the wilderness and as each one grows it also decays as the decrepit and worn need removed and replaced by the new. Left alone, that which crumbles and no longer has value grows back into a new wilderness. But that which is razed to the ground leaves the opportunity to build a new beginning.

There will be moments in your life when you will need to be a leader; take the helm and lead others. But always lead them to the direction which calls to them. But first it is our nature to follow as we are followers first. This is because we must learn to lead ourselves even as we follow others. Never allow yourself to be led to the will of others who only follow their own direction or their hell may become your destination.

The problem with someone else determining your worth is that they have no idea how much has been invested in you by God. He values your existence enough to create you. Once you realize that, it makes the value others have of you seem insignificant.

Everything was once an abyss. What is comfortable and civilized now was once a dark chaos. It took desire, willpower and effort to bring it light and order. This is what we are tasked with in life. What is already tamed are examples that bringing light is always possible despite the depths of the darkness. Your life is your turn to tame more of the wilderness so those after you will have a place to stand before entering their abyss.

Fear and respect work hand in hand. We fear others when they have authority over us, but when that control is utilized to teach and empower us, it transforms into respect. Everything in life needs something else to make it complete. Alone nothing has balance. And without balance, harmony cannot exist. Fear is only the beginning of respect which was not nurtured into respect. The same is true with kindness which becomes progress when combined with direction and integrity which becomes honor when meshed with sacrifice. Seek all the necessary elements in your endeavors and the results will always be harmonious to all.

Sometimes the only freedom you can give yourself is letting go. There are certainly times to hold on . But when your grip becomes so intense that it becomes painful to both you and what you are clutching, any relief or security you were gaining has gone. Prison walls are built one stone at a time with each one holding you a bit more in place. Freedom is acquired with a single full blow from a wrecking ball that has been released.

If you view your existence as an opportunity for God to do something that can only be done through your existence, your life instantly has purpose. No matter your mistakes and failures, you have an objective which equates to value. Getting lost in the chaos of life doesn’t affect this purpose. Never judge your value by the way the world causes you to feel, but instead by the accomplishment of a purpose that could’ve only happened because of you.

They both share passion, conviction of their beliefs, drive and a desire to change. One is a tyrant and the other a saint. It’s the same tools to reach very different objectives. They are paths which run parallel but end in opposite destinations. And with all their similarities, there is but one major distinction. It’s the choice to place one’s self above others or others above one’s self. Each is a key for us to open our life experiences. One unlocks the door to our heaven and the other to our hell.
