Every person has a role to play in society. Despite the fact that everyone has their own uniqueness, prejudices and discriminations are still inevitable. In fact, as society defines standards, norms, and trends, most people tend to forget to know themselves and eventually lose their way toward a purposeful life. Thus, the desire digging within ourselves to find our true identity, our passion, and how our real potential can contribute to a better world is being challenged day by day.
The book, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," is an extraordinary life story that will let us see the things of this world in another perspective. It is filled with numerous realizations about valuing our existence in society. Here are a few AHAmessages? derived from Francis Scott Fitzgerald's intriguing book. Read them and then share the entire book via AHAthat on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn:
- You can never undo the time you have wasted on procrastinating on your dreams or waiting for the right moment to happen. What you only have is the present. Do what you got to do #Now. #FScottFitzgerald https://aha.pub/TheCuriousCase [click to tweet]
- Do we rush to our adulthood? Or do we take our time in the in-betweens, then slow down in our golden years? #Transformation #FScottFitzgerald https://aha.pub/TheCuriousCase [click to tweet]
- When society tries to box you in to fit to its prejudices and discriminating conditions, it's the best opportunity to #BeDifferent and #MakeYourLifeCount! #FScottFitzgerald https://aha.pub/TheCuriousCase [click to tweet]
- More than staying alive, we're here to live out the reason we live. Do you know your purpose in life? #PurposefulLiving #FScottFitzgerald https://aha.pub/TheCuriousCase [click to tweet]
- Imagine how we will be more caring and intentional if we understand that everyone goes through the same struggles we do. #LiveIntentionally #FScottFitzgerald https://aha.pub/TheCuriousCase [click to tweet]
Knowing how you are conforming to the world will allow you to socialize with the people you come across. On the other hand, understanding why you sometimes need to deviate against what most people say is right will let you define your own life principles. Remember, you only live once, so seize every moment of fulfilling your purpose.
Stay true to yourself, and you will be fulfilled with the life that you are making.
