It recently occurred to me how insignificant an individual life can be.  By this, i simply mean, short.  How does one go about leaving his or her mark in this lifetime?  A lifetime in which one will pursue many different paths. A patchwork of different eras, relationships, and moments.  I feel it is best to leave your mark on the people...in their hearts, so your legacy can prosper through their memories.  Be good to people.  Don't allow yourself to be consumed with the fear and the anger that runs rampant in this world.  Find happiness in any given moment and embrace it.  Create a worthwhile legacy in your own mind, and pass it on to others.  Reach out.  You only have so much time on this beautiful earth, it is your duty to yourself to absolutely make the most of it.  Excel in the things you do.
