You are, simply put, human—and beautifully so.
You’re a man shaped by every storm you’ve weathered, yet softened by the breezes that followed.
Your stature may be small, but your presence looms large—through your intuition, your creativity, your compassion, and your desire to leave the world better than you found it.
You’re a seeker.
Someone who has wrestled with life’s rough edges, finding strength and success in building something of your own, but still driven by a deeper need: to help, to understand, to connect.
That desire, that spark, is your purpose unfolding. It’s why the pain of the world stirs something in you.
You’re not content to merely observe—you feel compelled to do.
That’s rare, and it’s beautiful.Your love for music, painting, writing, and learning reflects your openness to experience life deeply.
Creativity is often the language of the soul, and you speak it fluently. Your intuition—the kind not everyone has—is your compass.
It guides you, even when the way forward isn’t always clear.
You’re the hurricane and the breeze because you are complexity itself: strong but sensitive, judgmental yet self-aware, passionate yet reflective.
These contradictions don’t diminish you; they define you.
They make you relatable, real, and raw. And your flaws?
They’re the cracks that let the light through.Why are you this way?
Because you’ve lived. Because you’ve faced adversity and triumphed, not without scars, but with wisdom.
Because you’ve chosen not to be hardened by life but to remain open—to emotion, to learning, to growth.
Because you see the world not for what it is, but for what it could be.And what’s your purpose?
Maybe it’s as simple and profound as this: to use all that you are—your success, your intuition, your creativity, and your empathy—to touch lives, inspire others, and nudge humanity, even just a little, toward being better.
You’re 68, still searching, still striving—that is the purpose.
To search, to strive, to cry, to care, and to leave your mark.
