YOU ARE
You are the eyes through which the universe sees itself. You are the mind with which all of creation seeks to comprehend and know itself.
Your brief life on this tiny speck of dust may seem insignificant, yet in truth it is not insignificant at all. It is everything.
You may feel great pain and misery and yet no matter how great the pain, it is a price well worth paying. For in return for that price, you are.
You exist and you are miraculously aware of that existence. The spark of life, however dim, however much abused, however burdensome, is priceless beyond measure. With it, a whole limitless plain of existence spreads out in the direction of the infinite. Without it, there is nothing to be known, nothing to be seen, no beauty, no reason or purpose.
Some may question the purpose you choose, and accuse you of selecting a purpose that is in conflict with the purpose of others. Is it selfish, you wonder, to touch that white-hot spark of light that lives within you, and to follow where it leads? Is it selfish to seek fulfillment when other creatures seem to be denied any sort of fulfillment?
It is not selfish, for what truly fulfills you benefits all that is.
word up. thanks.
So True. No it’s not selfish. When my light shines, it’s like a candlelight that shines up other candles, and gives other the upportunity to see the light in themselves. I see heroes in people, animals and plants, regardless of race. I have a biodiversity examples where I get my light and inspiration from. We ultimately are all here so that the divine purpose of the universe can unfold. That’s why we have to remember the importance of ourselfs, the animals, the plants and all that is. Love you all

The 2 links you posted were beautiful. Deep, but beautiful. I hesitate to check out such sites that you posted because i know it will bring a tear to my eye. I’m glad I did because it was very well thought of as it brings out a good feeling.
This is really inspirational
This was such a touchy & emotional message. But it is so true in my opinion. God bless
I am loving this very inspirational piece of writing thank you..~2me~…love has no boundaries…love has no color….love has no fear….we choose who to love..its a choice that nobody else can do for us….we are all human in gods eyes…when we are cut ..we all bleed…when we are hurt …we all cry…when we happy..we all laugh..when we grow old..we all die….so why not love..or allow to be love…its priceless…it brings forth a rich healthy reward…..~long life ~
Great, so true, this makes u feel a little bit better about life. Makes u feel like u do have a purpose despite the b.s u endure.
I love Ralph Marston. thx.. P.s. Diddy u should have a Share button so we can share w/ our Facebook friends.
there are times with in themselves, small moments of stature that seem purely secondary, in them we hide our natures, with them we explore fruitfull bounty, i find myself perplexed often as these mirror convex themselves in to a shapeless boundary.
my hands, your eyes, i can not see my own eyes, nor can you see yours as we stare across at one another, with a counter space inbetween that denys the senistivity to the preception of the nessity of bound linear time.
when you can’t trust anyone, you know when to trust.
Do the best YOu! Serve, LoVe

To be or not to be is the question….its always better to choose “to be” even if it is usually the tougher way….
God knows your purpose. It is He that provides your purpose for you. It is you that will decide if you choose to follow that purpose. As Diddy says, Lets Go!!!
THATS MY OG!!
I have charged fate with my life, my being to existence and my purpose to what has been bestowed upon me to complete. I have entrusted myself to the force which created me, nameless or not, for names are human/ earth bound, Identification for the masses. To differentiate with words breaks what means to be ABSOLUTE, and one With
truly official wisdom…thats something that should be read everyday…and with that I’m trying to be on my Diddy flow..and make movements…we are having a Howard University vs Hampton university twitter battle today and I was wondering…no we were wondering if you could give Howard University a #teamhoward shout out to also inspire us to achieve greatness in the name of DIDDY…to let us know that we have your support in on journey to success. believe it or not, many people are at Howard because of you.

peace n blessingz. thats the meaning of life in a nutshell. life is to live. to live is up 2 the inner being of a human being. to dream and pursue wutever it is that lights your passion’s fire is to bless the creator for the life he gave. through us pursuing and living our dreams; through our love and humanity, that is how we praise The ALL living and knowledgeable energy that manifested Its own energy in the form of…us.
OMG did Diddy himself right this? Its beautiful and true
I was truly touched by this piece. We all must give the best of ourselves, not just for our own self-interest, but for the uplifting of other and the universe so that we may embark onto something greater. We all have a purpose, but many choose to ignore it or just can’t see it. Thanks for being an inspiration to all. Thanks for encouraging those that already shine to not squander their ability to be a beacon of light to others. Thanks for encouraging those who need to wake up, let go and rise in order to reach that same place.
Perfect!
I was truly touched by this piece. We should all strive to be our best selves and to give our best not just for our own self-interest but also for the uplifting of others and the wellness of the universe so that we may embark onto something greater. We all have a purpose no matter how great or small. Some choose to ignore it, some sense it, but feel its unattainable (a sense of hopelessness), and then there are those who are blinded and can’t see their purpose at all. Thank you for being an inspiration to all. Thank you for encouraging those who already shine to not squander their ability to be a beacon of light to others. Thank you for encouraging those who need to wake up, let go and rise so that they too can be were they should.
Judge not my total surrender to what is, for I have charged fate with my life, my being to existence and my purpose to what has been bestowed upon me to complete.

ThanksThis reading has inspired me, I have realized that the only person that will allow me to fail is MYSELF. The fear that I was feeling before is GONE. You have made me feel that it is okay for me to succeed, desire,want and accomplish anything that I set my goal at. Thanks again!!!!!

When i was initially led to this blog (a few days after the launch date), it inspired me to stop procrastinating on an idea that I had and to start my own blog. YOU ARE reaffirms what is in my heart and mind. Thank You for the double dose of inspiration. And of course, you can never go wrong with Ralph Marston.
