Fulfillment

“This is the true joy in life… being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one… being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. For the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It’s a sort of splendid torch which I’ve got to hold up for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”

A uniquely burdened and blessed citizen of the world thinking and acting out loud!
What a perfect, eloquent reminder of what we must do to live a life that fulfills our humanity, and brings joy to ourselves and others. Thank you for reminding me of what life can be.
