“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman

This will seem familiar...
Read this while you are listening to this. Ignore the text in the video, just read the speech and listen to the music. I can't describe it. I'm not sure what moves me more; the speech or the music. More than likely, its the combination of the two. He has such passion for music. He truly believes in the power of what he does. It terrifies me that I haven't felt that passionate about anything in my entire life. It makes me feel very lost. Its been almost two years since we were first introduced to this combination of words and music and I came across them again just this afternoon. Its possible that I feel even more lost than I did when I first heard them. I want to be this passionate about my life and what I want to do with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy. I have a good life. There is nothing about my life worth complaining about. But when it comes to the vocational side of things, when it comes to what I'm doing to do with my life over the next fifty years, I'm at a loss. I want to be passionate about whatever it is that I end up doing, and I'm terrified that won't happen.
