It is through action that ones character is defined.  Words are powerful but by themselves mean nothing. It is what lay behind them that show their resolve. In the end all people lie to get what they want, but only by looking at what they do can one see through the masks.

I lately have been thinking a lot about what I want out of life; this has not been very easy but I believe I have learned what I want. At least I think I do. I want to know that what I leave behind is a trail of kindness, caring and selflessness. I want to know that if I am able to have kids that I will be a good parent.  I want to know that I was the best friend I could have been to my friends and those I have shared my life with. I think more t hen anything this is what I want. I don't want to known for anything other than I really did care.

Sorry this was originally post is 2007, but I wanted to update it a bit.  I want to inject good things into people's lives and really see things grow. Bob Marley believed you could cure hate by injecting music and love into people.  So why can't we do the same with understand and caringness?

Money, toys, other stuff really is meaningless to me. Knowing, being able to finally rest knowing I was be a good human beings or that I helped another person grow and actually had them share some kindness, those are far more precious than thing than anything else.

I wanted to share this because it's been weighing very heavily on my mind.
