To be chosen. To choose.
To love. To be loved.
This is everything.

Three Things Matter
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

Let the Connection Be What It Is
when you meet that person. a person. one of your soulmates. let the connection. relationship be what it is. it may be five mins. five hours. five days. five months. five years. a lifetime. let it manifest itself, the way it is meant to. it has an organic destiny. this way if it stays or if it leaves, you will be softer from having been loved this authentically. souls come into, return, open, and sweep through your life for a myriad of reasons, let them be who and what they are meant.

Purpose
Be Kind. Expect nothing in return.
Every day, do something selfless for someone else that takes under five minutes. The essence of this thing you do should be that it makes a big difference to the person receiving the gift. Usually these favors take the form of an introduction, reference, feedback, or broadcast on social media.
But yeah, do something that’s not for yourself, every single day. Expect nothing in return. Over time, these random acts of kindness will really add up.
I took the above quote from an article published in time magazine on how to be productive, successful and smart. Despite being taken advantage of people from time-to-time, I believe in being kind and generous in the ways I can. While I cannot give into everything people want, I like to help where I can. I have been in tight situations, I have had low points and wish someone just said it is ok to ask for help; even if it’s just retweeting something, listening or making an introduction. So if I can help you in some small way, please feel free to reach out, I will do my very best, and honestly I expect nothing back.
Humility
True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less
– C.S. Lewis
