Life is not
The acquisition of money, material possessions
Life is
The pursuit of a passion
A life’s dream, a contribution to society
In youth, it is the pursuit of a job
A career, a profession, a calling
In adulthood, it is the maintenance of a lifestyle
In maturity, you realize that life is a pastime
And along the way, it can be
The accumulation of experiences you will be happy to remember
But, in truth, life is
The formation of the kind of person you want to be,
Learning who that is
To be and become who that is
By means of and through and despite
What life will bring your way
To be and become who that is
By whatever powers or Power you know
