The Essence



Every life is a story . . .
  whether it's a love story, an adventure,
  a comedy or a tragedy -
The value is not how it's depicted or it's outcome.
Undeniably, it's how we live it, that's the importance.
  It's our accountability, our influences.
  It's the lessons we learn and share.
Be present, be relevant -
  this is your composite, your manifest.
  You are the artist, the true choreographer.
Always remember
  whether you touch one life or many,
  the difference is yours to make.
  So make it!
Trust the fact that in somebody's eyes,
  in somebody's life,
You are of vital importance!
You have made a difference!
