Let's live our lives with great meaning and purpose in the attempt to influence the world to whatever degree our circumstance allows.

I envision a world in which the vast majority of us are actively striving toward our potential as human beings by spending our lives serving others through mediums we are most passionate.

The quality of your life is directly proportional to the positive effect you have on others’ lives.

We strive toward the middle, and we run from ourselves.

Jesus was not a carpenter forever.

You have become more and therefore expect more, but never become too purpose-driven to step back and realize just how far you have progressed.

Life is easier lived when lived for others.

The beautiful truth about service is that we are afforded countless opportunities to be its vehicle. Every interaction with another is an opportunity to serve. From simply letting someone into your lane in traffic, to holding a door, to a kind smile. This is all service. I am humbled by this simple truth. We are given the opportunity to express the most meaningful use of our lives every time we interact with another sentient being.

We must strive to become more daily. We must honestly assess our weaknesses and overcome them. We must work toward the highest possible version of ourselves. This is a worthy use of our time, but it is only when we do so with the ultimate aim of service to our fellow man that we really connect with something greater than ourselves. To contribute to the world in a positive way, this is the gift of life.
