Your Purpose


Inhale. Exhale. Before you breathe again, think of what your life has been. If that next breath never comes, what legacy do you leave behind? What secrets are at risk of exposure, what truths revealed at your demise? What would you rather them say about you on burial day; the actions now flashing in your head or the ones after the next CO2 intake? Don't take that next breath for granted, thinking you've got time to make your life worth it; it's not uncommon for souls to pass away having lived with no purpose.
