“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman, Author, Professor, Theologian To be alive is to be filled with energy, zeal, and focus. You don't just go through the motions; you experience them fully. You act with conviction, knowing that your life has meaning; everything you do matters. When you come alive, you understand that your very existence is proof of your purposeful place within the cosmic fabric of the universe. This fuels and motivates you to persevere though difficulties, until you see the light again. How will you come alive in the New Year?
