Evolution Of A Man

most people go about their careers first figuring out what they want to do with their lives, and then, if at all, realizing and acknowledging the impact that those actions will have on the world. me? i’m just the opposite. in the last week i’ve done quite a bit of soul searching, and although i do not yet know which actions to take, i have become clear on the impact that i intend to have on the world around me.

it all boils down to this: i want my life to have meaning! i don’t want to leave this world as someone who accomplished and excelled, but never gave back. i want to positively impact the lives of millions of people all around the world, and it is my desire and intention to do so in the following ways:

1. i want to help people. helping people makes me happy! the question i need to answer at the end of every day is, “what did i do today to make someone’s life better?” these things can be as simple as opening the door for someone whose hands are full, or as complicated as starting a scholarship program so that tomorrow’s youth can attend college. regardless of the task, it is my intention to spend every day of my life helping others in any way i can.

2. i want to entertain people. i am an entertainer. always have been and always will be. the happiest and most exciting moments of my life thus far have been spent entertaining others, and i miss that feeling. i am not quite sure in what form my entertaining the world will take, but it is my intention to spread insane amounts of joy, laughter and happiness around the globe many times over.

3. i want to motivate and inspire people. i believe the ultimate joie de vivre comes from the ability to share your experiences with others and be yourself in the face of everything and everyone. although i still struggle with the latter, i’m becoming more and more comfortable in my own skin as each day goes by. i am happiest when i am myself, and it is my intention to empower others (especially members of the LGBT community) with that sentiment, and motivate them to follow suit and live their best lives.

there ya have it! that’s the impact i want my life to have on others, and really, on the world. again, i’m sooo not sure of how all of this will manifest as far as my career is concerned, but i am put at ease with the sense of purpose that i have found and created for myself. i have faith that a career of purpose will present itself when the time is right. in the meantime, though, i will continue to search for a “job” and keep my eyes peeled for purposeful opportunities.

so, what impact will you have on the world?
