A thoughtful quote says: "Aspire to Inspire before
you Expire". Isn't it cute? Do you also see the great wisdom behind
it? What does aspire mean? It means to direct one's hopes or
ambition towards achieving something. And inspire? Is means to
create positive feelings in another, and/or the desire and ability to do
something in particular. And, finally, what is the definition of expire? Quite
simple: it means to come to an end. "Your" end. So? Don't you think
that it would be worthwhile to manage your own life in a way that, beside
making yourself (hopefully) happy - as you deserve - it could also be an
example for somebody else? Imagine the fulfillment you will experience when a
relative, a friend or a simple acquaintance tells you : "You inspired my life"
or "You gave me the courage to go on" or "You provided me with
the strength I needed to dare". Wow. This is something worth thinking
about. I believe that our main goal in life is to do good to ourselves and, as an immediate consequence, to do good to our fellow human beings. If we think only
of ourselves we become selfish. But the perfect love of ourselves cannot be
separated from the love towards the rest of the world. Don't forget that we are all connected
to each other. The good must be shared, because it belongs to all. And those
who have a greater awareness are the ones more directly responsible for the
sharing.
