HARD CHOICES

This will be the third time this month I am saying life isn’t fair at times. I used to believe that every human is born with something special and that we will eventually find where we fit if we look well enough. But right now I can’t say I think so, right now I do not believe every human is special. Right now I feel everyone is the same until they decide to make a change and make a difference that would redefine their life and very existence. But then again, there are those born with great genes, not because they deserve it , but it’s just what it is. There are those so talented that it feels as though the world would not deserve them if they should live up to their full potential. We have seen such talents in sports, music and all, like they don’t have to do the hard work others are doing to get the results they get and it makes me wonder what it would be like if they choose to go the extra mile.

Now what if I was born with a gift I never knew and I suddenly discover that the gift is in my gene or my organs in a way, what if that gift will be the cure to cancer, will I explore it or will I choose to live normally. I have been pondering this thought since this morning and to be honest I think I have an idea of the path I will take at this point in my life. I believe in living and dying for something, and whatever decision I make, it would be so that I can be remembered in the history books for something. But at the same time, I do not see myself just throwing my life away because I know it will save the world, but I see myself using my life to teach others wisdom and purpose. I wouldn’t want to be foolish about my decisions, nor would I be rash about it. That is why even at this age and stage the first thing I will do will be to go back to school to learn medicine and surgery.

I believe this action would teach people that it’s not too late to pursue a purpose when you are sure of it. If I see that I have a gift within me, the first thing is I will do everything in my power to be familiar with that gift and thus will abandon engineering for science. If the cure should maybe be in my heart, I will do everything to be one of the best cardiothoracic surgeons in the world just so I can understand how a heart works. Now this makes me more valuable putting me in the best position to actually be in the cure to cancer. With my knowledge, I would be vital to the medicine society, so vital that they won’t want me to die without passing down my knowledge. This would automatically put me at the top of the list for a heart donor knowing I’m one of the few people that can fight a disease that the world fears.

So the plan is this, I become relevant enough to not be allowed to die, get a new heart while donating mine for research purposes, and playing a vital role in the research itself. I know it looks like a lot, but if the universe has found me worthy to bestow such great honor on me, then I have the ability to make the hard choices without being a labrat but a scientist who would write his name in the history books.This is what purpose is all about, making the most out of what you were given. If God has given me a talent, he has also given me a great mind to use it.
