I firmly believe that each one of us is here because we have a purpose--some potential we're meant to fulfill. I also don't think we discover that potential by playing it "safe" or sticking with the status quo or meeting the expectations others have forced on us.
We discover our potential by taking risks and trying something new. By pushing boundaries and stepping outside our comfort zones. We have to work hard to find that purpose--some of us have to work harder than others--because the world is doing everything it can to make sure we're conforming. The pressure is unbelievable.
But, as history often shows, it's the boundary breakers who make the difference--the ones who didn't follow the rules--the men and women "polite society" rolled their eyes and scoffed at.
So . . . eight years old or eighty, it doesn't matter. Pick up that pen. Tie those slippers. Grab the guitar. Step on stage. Dip that paintbrush into water and work on that masterpiece.
Discover what it is you're meant to do, then do it with abandon.
