The purpose and goal of this blog are to help all of us think, grow, and aspire to achieve our fullest potential as human beings. Each and everyone is different. Our goals are different. The challenges we face are different. What we define as meaningful is different. Yet, the fundamental principles of how we get there are the same.
Think
René Descartes, a French philosopher, spoke the famous phrase, “I think, therefore I am”. We are all gifted with the ability to think. The ability to try and comprehend the life we have been given is something that makes us special. It all starts by using the immense power that we are all born with. We have been given the chance to determine for ourselves what it is that we value and what is most important to us. This is where it begins.
Grow
Next, we have to take action. We have to grow our worth and meaning. Thinking can only take us so far. The first steps must be taken. Once we decide what is important to us, what we value and care about, it is up to us to translate that into real action. What we do impacts ourselves, the people we care about and the world around us no matter how minuscule it may seem in the face of the enormity of the world and wider universe.
Aspire
Finally, we all have to keep hope alive within ourselves. We all have immense potential within us to accomplish so much. Even if we doubt ourselves, we all have the strength to make a real difference for ourselves, people we care about and the values we hold dear despite the obstacles, the challenges, and failures we may face. We have to aspire to be more than we are today.
Each and every day is a chance to think, to grow, and aspire to be the person we want to be.
