Master, once a man asked, how can I be like you? I wish to
inspire and motivate people to live their dreams and to achieve the impossible.
Well my friend, Master smiled; first of all you can never be
like me or anyone else for that matter. You will always be like your own self
or a copy of someone else. But tell me, do you think I inspire and motivate
people to live their dreams and achieve the impossible!
Of course you do. The man exclaimed. Whoever comes at your
door, returns full of courage and inspiration to lead a better life, to
overcome challenges. And that’s what I want
to do.
Well young man, Master uttered, inspiring someone is not the
same as wanting to inspire someone. If your inspiration comes out of the desire
to inspire someone then what will you do when there’s no one to inspire!
I didn’t get you... the man now asked.
If you want to be something then be a lighthouse my friend. It
shines day and night, with the same intensity and rhythm, not with the purpose
of showing the way to a vagrant ship, but to fulfil its own purpose of
existence, which is to shine and offer light. It lights up even when there is
no one lost or watching, it just does its nature, its purpose for being what
and who it is.
But how will I find the lost if I don’t wish to inspire and
lead.
My friend, Master replied softly: you be the lighthouse and
the lost will find you.
