Your Purpose To Others

[Kevin J Bates Jr]

The world has no need for another weakling.
Another person dragged down by life and trial and circumstance to the point that they simply will not. Will not move, will not stand, will night fight, will not try, will not live and will not be strong. Never mind the fact that there are so many looking at them.
Have you ever taken the time to look about you and see how many eyes are on you? How many of those eyes are of people looking to you for strength and as an example?
There are always eyes of family, friends, acquaintances, enemies and mere passersby. These eyes are watching you. waiting for you to fail, flag or fly. There is a younger sibling who, if you fail, will take that as a reason not to give their all in whatever they do. There is an enemy who, if you give up, will mock and grow fat from the joy of watching you raise your white flag. And then there is a passerby who, if you fly, will see that it is possible to accomplish what you dream of and will themselves try to go higher.
It will no longer do to shrink. Not when so many have become so small. Forget all those who said that you cannot. What if you can? Never mind those that say you not able. What if you are? Pay no mind to those who say it is impossible. What if it isn’t?
Why can’t you be the one to do it? Who’s to say that just because there has never been a college graduate in your entire family that you will not be. Better still, be the first. Set the better precident. Know that it will be hard. Know that nothing worth doing is ever easy. And know that once done, you have silently taken away the excuse of another and many more to not try and have blatantly given them a reason to fight harder for a better tomorrow.
Such a thing requires just a few to be strong to make the many mighty. It is your purpose to others to be strong so that your strength gives them strength and so on and on. And with this being the case and with the world being so bent on breaking, one thing is most certainly true…
The world has no need for another weakling.
