Sometimes I wonder what I would do if I had the resources that gave the opportunity and privilege, in have that, I realise that such comes with great responsibility in how the resources are used, to what ends, and to what purposes.
Indeed, I am
fascinated by those who recognise that what they have should not be abused
subscribing to a higher principle or cause that serves justice and humanity.
I will not pretend
that I have acquired to that standard of altruistic contentment, the emperor of
my entire and all that can be surveyed. It is no less something to strive to,
not for self but for others in knowing what to do with what you have got. I am
surprised how watching the mundane can elicit profound knowledge.
Wisdom is in
servitude
I do not consider
myself a leader or a mentor, yet, I find that I am thrust into situations where
by perspective, experience, inclination or engagement, something is demanded of
me to which I must rise rather than shrink. I do not delude myself into
thinking I have the powers of persuasion, but I can paint pictures and
scenarios, hoping to bring hearts, minds, resources and commitment to a side.
That one does not
have a burning passion to win at all cost, but to have done enough for options
to be seen and decisions to be made gratifying, even if what I have done is
create opposition rather than acquiescence. If anything, I have been honoured
to influence and even if I had wished to be better resourced, I hope to have
done anything I have done to the best of my ability.
If fortitude should
bless me with greater responsibility, if I have acquitted myself well with
little, I cherish every moment I had to engage, if a mission calls, send me
with the wisdom of life I have been given to live.
