We all were designed for success but many of us are distracted by survival and living to a certain standard that we are not able to live up to our true capabilities. We tend to be so tied up in existing that our life ambitions are drowned out by survival. When we do have spare time to improve ourselves, we are lured into using that time for entertainment. Because of this, there is a small minority of people who get to make decisions that impact our lives. We willingly give away that power because we are distracted with leisure.

The truth is that we are extremely unique and valuable. We can do, help and live much more purposefully than we do. It is extremely difficult at times for us to believe this, because in our minds the story we tell ourselves for why our lives are the way they are is airtight. Our logic is strong enough to convince us of this, so we believe the lie that we are telling ourselves. This lie we tell ourselves signs us up for mediocrity, an unexamined life and unfulfilled purpose.
