Live With Purpose

There's two most tragic things in life.
The greatest is not being born again;
But the second, I'll talk with you...
It's about your dreams that lie within.

Don't grow old, and be unfulfilled.
Don't look back, and have regret;
It's better to pursue goals, and fail,
Than to hide them, and then forget.

Stop wasting your time being busy
Or being idle in your day;
Are you afraid to make that step
Or too comfortable in your way?

What will you do with what I've given?
Use your time wisely for Me;
You're the message I speak to the world.
You're the light for them to see.

Before you became a soul on Earth,
My desires - I placed in you;
What you do will give you joy,
To Me, and others too.

You're here to be a fruit bearer...
Born with an assigned destiny;
Everyone's purpose is to use their gifts
That ultimately glorifies Me.

You will remain unhappy
If you allow life to pass you by;
You must take action toward your dreams.
All I ask is that you try.

What matters most is how you finish -
Not your past or a late start;
Do what you love no matter the cost...
You owe it to your heart.
