“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Howard Thurman
In Nelson Mandela Square, Johannesburg, 2012. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela died today at the age of 95.
He spent 27 years of his life behind bars, but he united a nation.
He suffered unspeakable cruelty at the hands of his own government, but he fought for reconciliation and renewal.
He did not turn his back on hope, possibilities, freedom or change.
I wonder what kind of world we would have, what kind of legacy we would leave, if we did the same?
