Look up at the sky and consider our predicament:  we’re little specks on a ball of dirt, hurling incredibly fast through the depths of infinity.  Our lives are inherently meaningless, aside from the meaning we decide to give them.

So it behooves me study myself as mercilessly as possible—to stare in the mirror and acknowledge every failing, every fear, every tendency and inclination…so I can chart a course through this nonsensical life, and forge myself into something with a purpose.

Purpose makes each action into something worth doing, instead of a futile gesture made by a dying collection of mass and energy.
