I feel a responsibility to have an impact on this world and to the individuals that enter my life. If you believe there is a reason for everything than you must be cognizant of this with every encounter you face on your journey. Not to wonder why someone enters your life and how it will benefit you but to question what they may need from you, in particular, that they showed up on your doorstep.
People lose sight of what to be human means. None of us are perfect, none of us have not been scared just by walking through this life, but does that mean we should not feel some responsibility to help those suffering directly in front of us? Should we not make every effort to be an inspiration--to give hope for a better world? Maybe, if we were willing to inspire, we would, in turn, be inspired to become a better human being, to become someone we are proud to be?
An artist friend speaks of having many muses...shouldn't we all have those people that inspire us to reach for greatness, to become amazing, to offer a reflection of our souls so that we may adjust when necessary? I chose to surround myself with the very people that will teach me to become better, to become whole, to become who I wish to be.
It may not be in your comfort zone to allow the reality of who you are to lay on your mind long enough to understand it. You may not wish to evaluate why you chose not to inspire but we all have a responsibility to each and every survivor~ We must be willing to show our scars proudly, to learn from them, to teach others how to avoid them, and to give each other the strength to embrace the scars yet to be inflicted. Understand~know from the depth of your being, we will be beautiful in spite of them; because of them.
