Proof of Life
September 12th, 2012
What is Proof of Life?
Do you ever wonder why you were put on this Earth? Why you have become who you are? Why God placed you with the family you have, the friends you keep, the job you hold?
I think about this every day. Then I ask myself, who is Annette?
I am one who is just about everything. I am one who enjoys life to it's fullest, trying to make sure I conquer everything the world has to offer. I am driven, organized, focused, strong, honest, caring, fun, and serious, all wrapped up into one. And just knowing in weeks I'll be turning 44, I feel I have the drive to do even more.
Why is that? Is there is just so much to do and I am so afraid I won't be able to do it all? Is my life going by too fast or do I just need to slow down?
I really don't know.
Recently I have has some revelations amongst people in general. It's people who make me who I am today. I need these revelations to be able to accept people for who they are, whether I like them or not, or whether I can trust them or not.
One thing about me is for sure, I know there are people who cannot accept me for who I am. Are they threatened? Envious? Or just simply annoyed? The thing is, it really doesn't matter to me. It may hurt for a moment, but it will not stop me from being who I am today. Actually, nothing will and I will give all the credit to my Mom for that. She taught me to never hold a grudge and let it just roll off my shoulders and move on. It's not worth it.
And I do just that.
I am sure by now you are wondering why am I writing this?
It's because the many opportunities I have encountered just over this summer alone. Whether it was involvement in the community, family or friends, it seems to have caught up with me in one way or another. And I have come to a conclusion that our society may be heading in the wrong direction when it comes to one's self. People are so wrapped up in their own worlds and the safety of their own needs, they are missing what is laid out right in front of them. Maybe it's a little too much self fulfillment and the strong desire of notoriety. Either way, I think the time and the need to focus on one's own proof of life has come due.
And what is self fulfillment anyway? In the dictionary it refers to the ability to make yourself happy and complete through your own efforts.
Yes, this may be why God put you on this Earth and why you have become who you are, but God also made sure in his efforts to bring you into this world is to love one another, and do unto others as they do unto you. To be thankful of what you have and appreciate those who surround you.
So to those who may think I may be writing about you, maybe it's your time to self reflect for a moment and ask yourself, who am I?
