I woke up today with an unexplainably strong desire to get something accomplished. In my eyes accomplishment can be a somewhat ambiguous term, the definition of which doesn't necessarily reflect what it means to me. A checkmark on a to do list can be an accomplishment to someone, but to me an accomplishment is simply a completed act of bringing something innovative and inherently practical to life. Today I realized that in order to feel alive and purposeful in todays world I need set a goal to always strive towards creating a new product, writing a book or inventing something that can truly improve the quality of life for myself and most importantly humanity as a whole.
I have been relentlessly searching for my true calling since the onset of adolescence, and now in my mid twenties I think I have finally arrived to some ultimate closure as to what I want to achieve in the very short period of time that we call life.
I want to build stuff.
And building doesnt necessarily mean constructing, it means being constantly involved in the development of new innovative ideas. My best quality is the abundance of ideas that race through my dreamy head in a chaotic fashion trying to out run each other to the surface of reality. Realization of these ideas is what makes me feel alive. Having your thoughts materialize into tangible realities brings an incredible rush of satifaction, pride and gratitude the combination of which makes life worth living while impatiently looking forward to every coming day of the mysterious thing that we call the future.
