Why you are here

Have you
ever wondered
why you are here?

Throughout our lives
we have
many different experiences.
We get involved
in a variety of roles.

As each year passes,
we find ourselves
more and more engrossed,
in the day-to-day happenings.

By being pre-occupied
with what is happening now,
we can miss other opportunities.

All of us are here
for many different reasons.
Some of which are obvious,
and some not so obvious.

Acknowledge and understand,
your roles in life.
Appreciate the value and benefit
you receive by undertaking them.

Always be aware
of other possibilities
that may appear.
Take the opportunity
to explore them.

Search out
new and different ways
to lead your life.

By looking at yourself
and your life,
you can understand
why you are here!
