A Better World

I am unsatisfied with the default way we have been taught to view the world. I need to believe in something better, something more. I began this project to decide for myself what a meaningful life looks like. A Better World is an ongoing series exploring and reimagining the different aspects of life, with the goal of spending our days more thoughtfully, and with the purpose of making our tomorrows closer to our dreams of utopia.

Resolute

A purpose is a strong thing. And to some, it precedes existence. Are we born into the world with an innate destiny, or do we seek outwards in our free will to decide for ourselves? No matter how it happens, it must happen. A soul without a purpose is a body without a soul, a heart without love, a mind without stimulation. 

To save the world is to save yourself. And the only way i know how to save myself is to follow the calling that has always been in me, even if in different combinations and permutations over the years. 

I can’t help but think that the first step in solving the myriad of issues we face is to reach that calm within ourselves, the eye of clarity amongst hurricanes. The troubles in our minds weigh too loudly, overriding any material conflict.

But once we are clear in our senses, in our purpose, i do believe we can weather the storms, ride the winds to a better world.
