Living With Intent

He who rights a wrong, who cares when others care not, who gives while others take, who stands while others kneel, who risks while others cower, who speaks while others remain silent, who loves while others fear, who leads while others follow, who lives despite the odds while others simply survive, who creates while others consume, who builds while others destroy, whose faith acts while others wait, and who knows his God while others only believe.
​
Such a one is rare.  

Such a one lives with intent.  He is one to whom the Creator speaks, because he listens while others ignore.  He lives life making while others make a living.  He sees the universe perfect where others see it flawed.  He saves himself while others seek to be saved.  His God is living, while another’s god - dead.  His heaven is here while another’s far away.  He knows his God (Mind).  He does not need to believe in it.  He knows.  And thus by knowing, he does what he must.  His purpose is clear.  And he lives it to the fullest.

A true soul never asks for permission to think or act from another.  It already knows what to do for itself.  It does not seek to offend in its actions, nor please any other through piety or obedience, simply to manifest its Creator (Mind) unhindered, naturally.  And in so doing, it is crucified, shunned and even tortured by the world.  Such is the measure of right action.  From everywhere at once, the masses seek to supplant it.

I'll die a million deaths for the right to simply be me.  And a million more if it means for but a second of time I succeeded.  

If the hounds be on your heals, let them bite.  For the scars of lifetimes eventually become impenetrable.
