Churchill once said that success is not final, and failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
My name is Lisa. I'm twenty-five, and have little to no idea who I am , where I'm going, or what's worthwhile in this life However, I've come to find the longer I live it, the more I encounter the following epiphany:
Several months ago I'd settled on a professional path in New York to soon discover the choice was wrong. Out of a lot of my savings, I returned home to evaluate my options, where I eventually realized that—contrary to American notions—one's profession should play a small part in their identity. Similarly, the quantity of one’s financial or professional success is of little significance when compared to the quality in how one lives.
With this in mind and the approach of the holidays, I’ll leave my readership with the cemetery scene from the famous film It’s a Wonderful Life. Here George Bailey gets a look at how his life would be if he was never born to highlight how he affected others. Upon realizing the peoples' lives George affected his angel Clarence says, “Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?”
