I am finally
in a place of wanting it all and for once in my life feeling like I can get it
all. Today, I watched a video about an Indian man who had it all (financially
at least) and he walked away to feed the hungry people in his village. Crazy
right? Who does shit like that? I’ll tell you who. I do.
I could
see myself mobilizing several people, organizations, etc. and going out to
serve the less fortunate. That would be my ultimate goal- dedicating myself to
enhancing the lives of others on a grand scale. Lofty? Not really. How hard is
it to go work for Coca Cola and convince an already fat and overindulgent
society that they need more sugar and fat in their already clogged and
overworked arteries?
My goal
is to go to people that need it the most and feed them, body, soul and mind. I
want to take people that feel helpless to help and then show them how possible
it is. It isn’t hard to feed people. It’s not hard to teach people to read. It’s
not hard to organize clothing drives. It just takes that one individual who
wants to go from “someone should do something” to “I’m going to do something.”
That’s it. It’s that simple.
So in a
nutshell, that’s success to me. Success is living my life and making a healthy
living ($80k+) by helping others on a macro scale. No knocking my colleagues
that choose to go into case management. Lord knows we need it. But I want to do
more. I want to lead. I want to lead teams and build. That is success to me.
