“If the world is cold, make it your business to build fires.” – Horace Traubel
As we look out into the world around us, we are seldom at a loss for needs which long to be filled. There is always a hand outstretched for help though it may not even realize what it is asking for. There is always a purpose that needs to be realized, a goal that must be attained, and a journey that must be travelled.
We are most suitably guided toward these needs not only by willing hearts, open minds, and able bodies, but a fiery passion which compels us to serve in a way that no other can. Each of us is given our own unique outlook on life, an exceptional perception which allows us to see the needs of the world in ways that no one else is able. As we follow our own path to the singular bliss of life that we seek, we are given the distinction of directing our passions in a manner that will not only fulfill the needs in the world around us, but also fill the needs within us.
Let your fires blaze and let your trails be marked so that others can see the light of their own passions.
