iThink...thereFore, iAm

It has been on my mind for a while, this idea that we are not behaving, not living in the fullest that we are meant to. We are missing something, akin to Aragon denying his throne, Achilles denying his fighting ability or Peter denying Jesus. There is something more, and we’re not even trying to get it back.

I think this has been robbed from us - that we do not see the glory that (if you pardon the expression) we were created to be. We can be so much more. Say that to yourself:

I can be so much more.

They say I am an ambitious person. Maybe I am. Maybe I simply don’t wish to look back upon my life when it’s about to be over and think that I could have been a great figure, and instead let my life fizzle like a candle in the wind and unlike the song, leaving no legend behind.

I believe, that we can all be something more.

We look upon great men and women. People who changed the world, people who are hailed as heros, changemakers, spiritual giants and evangelists, and we think that they are so much bigger than us. And we are wrong - they are men and women just like us.

Just like us.

We can be more.

It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare…There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.

- C.S. Lewis
