The bigger picture

A man who has never lost himself in a cause bigger than
himself has missed one of life's mountaintop experiences. Only
in losing himself does he find himself. Only then does he
discover all the latent strengths he never knew he had and
which otherwise would have remained dormant."

-- Richard Nixon

Ok I don't know about all the bad things that Richard Nixon did nor do I want to know - but may I say let he who lives in a glass house cast the first stone. I like him - I don't care if that is politically incorrect - tough tahoooties . . . . Anyway what a fantastic quote. This is why I am in pursuit of becoming a doctor, I want to lose myself into a cause bigger than myself. I truly want to do more tho - I want to help all the abused children and animals . . . That feeling gets stronger and stronger each day. I have to do that - it eats at me - it is a goal that I need to fulfill. And I will one day . . . for all those innocents babies that need me . . . and for the pull that God keeps alive in me.

If I cannot change the world, perhaps I can change one corner of the world. If I cannot help everyone, perhaps I can help someone and that someone can help everyone. I want to make a difference and not for fortune and fame - but for those people who need someone to stand for them, to cheer for them, to truly love them and to lift them out of their despair . . . to a world that is better than they could ever imagine or dream . . . a world of happiness, kindness, and charity, a world filled with love that they can pass on to others.

"I believe in the sun even when it isn't shining,
I believe in love even when I am alone,
And I believe in God even when He is silent.
