Living Assets

Show me what someone is willing to live for,
and I'll tell you their value on earth. Living
for nothing is like money stored in the bank
that will never be used to feed a hungry child.

What's the value of gold if it can't be used?
It's no more than a rock for display.
What's someone's value if the person doesn't
give purpose to their existence?
It's no more than a dust that comes and goes
with the wind.

We each have a value, we each have a purpose.
But it's our responsibility to discover what it is.
Now when I wake up in the morning I ask myself,
what will I be today, gold stored or bread to
feed the hungry? A pointing finger, or a helping hand?

I invite you to come out of your bubble,
and when you wake up, the world will be blessed
with talent that only you possess.
And when you make a difference in one life,
with your words, with your music, with your actions,
then ... you have changed the world.

What are you waiting for?
