Vision (Choices)

“To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.” – Kofi Annan

This quote by Kofi Annan (Former Secretary General of the United Nations) is one of the most influential quotes I have ever read. It sums up in absolute clarity the importance of having a Vision of where we are going as individuals (or human society), so that we are not wandering through life blindly with no direction. Not to say that those who know where they are going will not suffer, this quote puts into perspective the power of having a clear vision of purpose.

Even the brightest minds in the world have their challanges, and I personally find comfort knowing I'm in good company, never alone in my struggles. I observe it like this, I can choose to descend into madness without a vision, or ascend into genius (still madness) with a vision. I feel the latter is worth exploration. To note, we are never alone in our struggles, but being alone to create, tinker, design, or plan an agenda for life becomes a worthwhile endeavour each and every day. Simply working toward something doesn't seem so bad, its actually the freedom I seek. It allows me to think differently and find comfort in aloneness when times get crazy (and it does). It is a complete paradigm shift in thinking, but the world somehow seems much more brighter knowing that I'm progressing toward something of interest and importance. It makes a world of difference, and people notice it, it's contagious, and it drips a vibration that inspires others in a very organic way. I hope by me sharing this it will have an enormous impact on at least one person’s perspective, and that person will be the catalyst for inspiring another person, and so on, and so on. Much love HU fam, and thank you for allowing me to share my expressions with you. 🙏🏼
