24

There are times in my life when I've asked if I'm here to accomplish a certain goal, and if I am, when am I going to find out what my role is. One can say that the topic delves a bit too far into philosophy or maybe even religion. I however, feel that everyone has something in their life that they eventually become known for. Some big feat, or maybe something that is so notorious that recognition is gained. Others are known for their association with a certain idea or person.

This one isn't so much about me, it's more of a broad question that can certainly pertain to anyone who reads the words I spew out weekly. Like I said earlier, I do feel that everyone is here to set a benchmark, or some kind of precedent. My question is, what happens to those who go too early? By too early, I mean before they reach the golden age, their late 60's, 70's, or even more. What about those in their 30's and 40's who are out on their own, struggling to make ends meet, and not yet gaining the success that is expected at that age. Those who live day to day, without really sticking out, or being identified with something unique. Are they just here today, gone tomorrow, without their purpose ever being exposed?

I've heard it said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in some cases this works with my thoughts. Every person has an admirer. I don't mean admirer like love interest, but in the way that they really appreciate what that person does. Is that enough for every person to have their life role filled? Is it that simple? Who knows?

Back to me, I don't think I've found what I'm to become known for. I hope it comes up pretty soon though.

Well 24 is coming on, not too much more for me to say, just a thought I was having today...

How great does that thing need to be? Can a person not leave their mark without even knowing it? Does that thing need to be known to multiple people or can one just make a difference in one life and that have been their purpose? In my daily interactions with people I have learned that when you aren't trying, or even watching, you might be doing the greatest thing you could ever do. You may well in fact be on earth simply to help others reach their potential, to be happy, sometimes even to live, and in doing so are reaching your own. Just my thoughts but I could literally go on for hours.
