I confer I'm currently at a turning point of my life. Here I am standing at the crossroads, staring at the two roads diverged. Here I question the value of the human existence and my purpose in this life. Life is short. What do I value more in this life? There are 195 countries in this world. I have barely visited 5%. Do I want to see them all? Would I be satisfied with a life lived in a single location, surrounded by the endearing relationships I would have formed and the legacy within the confines of a family? Or do I want something more? Whose life do I want to impact in this life? Someone close to me or a stranger in need? Who and what do I value more? Relationships? Power? Wealth? Do I want wealth to construct my dreams? Or wealth to build people's dreams? How about power and influence? Do I want to be powerful and influential? Is wealth and/or power really necessary to create impact? Look at the Gates foundation. Look at President Obama. Look at Aung San Suu Kyi. Look at Lee Kuan Yew. Ordinary people, extraordinary lives; fighting for a bigger cause. Epiphany strikes. Two roads may have diverged but both roads should lead to the same end point. Keep the focus. Stay focussed. Everything else is just distraction. Background noise. Zip.
