The question for many isn't “is there life after death,” but rather is “is there life after birth?” What is life anyway? And are you really living it? Whether or not your intentions point you in one direction or another, you will leave a legacy at the end of today. Like it or not, you're leaving a mark. What, if anything, of value are you leaving behind in your path? Are you on a path that others would be well advised to follow and pursue? If so, great! Keep going and growing. If not, maybe it's time to write yourself a reality check.

Far too many people suffer from unmet needs that could easily be attended to by others. The problem is we forget to ask, or we ask the wrong way. Anyone can toss out a laundry list of wants with absolutely no idea how to obtain any goal and become bitter that others aren't doing everything for them. This is taking the lazy path in life. It's rarely considered commendable or praiseworthy. But if life is viewed through the correct lens, a little help is better than none. Right?
