Thinking of What tomorrow might bring.

The talking combo meal known as the aqua teen is flashing on my television as I sit and attempt to explore my mind and find an answer to everything that drives me crazy. Unfortunately, like so many times before I find myself even more confused than I started. I wonder what goes through someone's mind as they say, "I bet we can create an amazing television show featuring French fries, a milk shake, and a piece of meat working as retired detectives. " Yet as outrageous as this idea may be, it is an amazing show. So I am attempting to answer 'how I leave my mark and contribute to society.' It is my life long dream and everything I have done so far has been to accomplish a lasting mark that benefits our world.

Was it serving in the military, maybe it was when I picked up a water bottle that someone thought to leave on the ground. Maybe it's an exploration with my friends trying and experimenting with new things. Sadly I haven't found the answer. I do beleive I've made considerable progress.

At the end we will all move on, and maybe we left a legacy behind, but our souls have moved on and our bodies will turn to dust. Yet there is something special that we do while we are here. Saying hello as we walk by someone on the street. Inquiring about someone's day finding out if things went well and attempting to bring a smile to that person's face is far more significant then we realize.

We are all connected and we are reliant on each other to live a fulfilling life. I realize that as I sit here and think, listen to music, read articles, watch television, I will never find any answers on my own, and I will never find them without interacting with ohters. No one else knows the answers, but I beleive we can discover them together.. Through our experiences and instead of worrying about the bills, the relationships, the obstacles of tomorrow, I think we should remember the times we had with others, remember how they felt, and what they said instead of how we felt and what we said.

How do you leave your mark on society, and fulfill your purporse of being here? It's simple, make the most of the time you have, and do it with the ones you love.
