Bigger than this guy
Ok this will be brief. Someone asked me this past week what do you want to do. I had been thinking of this sort of question lately. So I had an answer. I want to be part of something that is bigger than my self. What does that mean? I think that’s part of what im trying to figure out. Now before I get comments about finding myself and some kind of crap like that. I’m not talking about that….. Being a part of something bigger than myself is more than just being happy. “Hey drew just be happy in what you’re doing” or “Work so you can do what your passion is” I used to say that…This isnt some kind of coming of age story and when I was your age thing. Bigger than yourself. Fire in the belly. I’m watching excerpts from graduation speeches. What happened to our college dreams? I ask that not just of myself but for everyone I work with older and younger than me. What happened to our college dreams. I guess replaced with house car mortgage kids…Not high school but our college dreams. Fire in the belly to be part of something bigger than ourselves. So this is me thinking about it.

Man I don’t know what happened to those dreams, to those aspirations of life. Your right though we get caught up in mortgages, cars, and all that. Those things or people that inspired us to college in the first place become faded dreams. Dude you don’t need to find yourself. You have been you for X number of years, I think you know you better then anyone else with two legs and a brain.
To really be part of something bigger then ourselves involves us as people taking a backseat. Really. Some dude we know and love talked about those of us who want to lead, he said we lead by serving and took it a step further saying if we desire to be first we actually have to be a slave to others, a slave to ideas, dreams, and pictures that are bigger then you and I. Bigger then our stories. I think it’s us giving up our rights so others can have them.
Be a part of something bigger then myself? I seek it too.
The question is when it’s presented to us will we have what it takes to step into it and never look back.
