Maybe your five year plan, your hopes and dreams, your idealistic future… it’s not going to fill that hole. That void you thought was a house with a white picket fence, a car, a ring on your finger - they are all social norms that are expected but don’t offer solace to anyone searching for anything more than complacency.

Your future is not what school you go to, what job you work, what things you own; it is what has yet to happen. Whose lives will you touch? That is what will make your footprint here. Never mind meeting goals of wealth and success. Change people’s hearts for the better, make someone’s life easier, teach a child something that he will never forget. There is your future. Those are the things you cannot lose, you cannot take back.

I don’t want anything I don’t already have other than a place in the hearts of those I love. I don’t ask for anything besides good memories, honesty, a fair mindset, and the ability to love without bounds.

When all is said and done, when the children of God return home, what have we done here that will matter?
