You are not your body or where you live or who you know, or even who you are. You are what you choose to be. You are who you influence -- how you make tiny, tiny parts of the world different, and better. Meaning is not defined by being. It is defined by doing. If you do nothing, you are nothing. If someone could pluck you from existence and nothing would change, you've failed. You are the sum total of your actions, words, and deeds. You are the turbulence you leave behind you in the stream of time. You are immortal … if you want to be.
