Being one of a large indefinite number.

How do you define your life?

I wake up every morning, I have breakfast, I get ready for class, I go to class, I eat supper, I watch a show, I make a call, answer the phone, go out for a while, I read, I play piano, I sleep.
This is what I do, but this is not who I am.

What do you live for?

Lately, I keep hearing people's "goals". The majority of them include; "I want a family", "I'd love to build my own home", "I hope to travel", "I will wake up tomorrow morning, Lord willing". Living from day to day, paycheck to paycheck - and then we wonder where the time has gone.

What's your purpose?

It makes so much sense to believe that talent of yours should extend beyond yourself, your gifts are to be used, your mind has power to change things, your hands can help restore, your heart can create miracles and your words have possibility to build. But, we stay home, we busy ourselves with mundane acts, we sit, we stay quiet, we simply live.

What's next?

The theme that I chose for our youth service this month is
"What are you living for?"

living: the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities

I think it's easy to forget that we're not here forever sometimes and it's easy to get caught up thinking "this is life"

The theme of my past few weeks. I started to get so tierd of getting up, showering, going to class, then coffee, then homework, then hang out, then sleep.. and the over and overness of the rountine started to drive me nuts.. then a question much like this one came up and is helping fix much of my problem...
