You were not born to be rich, famous, superficial, or someone else’s puppet. You were born on this planet to find your purpose. You do whatever it takes. You don’t make excuses, you keep searching. Everybody hopes and chases the wrong things, but forgets the answer lies deep inside us. Do not build your life around materialism. Build it around what is real. So, if you’re going through a rough patch, a quarter-life or mid-life crisis, realize one thing. You have a life, a pulse, and a choice. And, you’re going to do whatever it takes to find that purpose that God made you for. Faith tells us there is a larger plan. Do whatever it takes. That is the only thing that will get you a seat at the table.

Above anything, do not judge anyone. You will never fully understand what someone else is going through. We are shaped by the systems around us, but we are not blind. Focus on purpose. Reject the hatred around you. You only get this one life.

Do whatever it takes.
