“What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.” Maya Angelou
Too many people don’t take responsibility for their actions or failures…..It’s always someone else’s fault. They place blame everywhere but on themselves and have excuses for their actions. We are here on this earth for a purpose and we may not always know exactly what that is. But there is a reason we are living and breathing, taking up space in this world. The world doesn’t owe you but we owe the world to be the best we can be.
As we encounter people day to day, maybe even for just a moment or brief interaction, we can have possibly made an influence unbeknownst to us. It is important to always be kind and generous with our speech to even strangers we pass along the way. Be Happy and operate from a place of love in your hearts. What is there deep inside will project outward and will also attract it back from the universe.
I wish all a Blessed Day!
Very well said!
