Fuck my selfish needs,
\nall I care about are my virtuous deeds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can keep kneading the dough, and stacking the paper\u00e2\u20ac\u201d
\nbut what will I think of my life later?<\/p>\n

When I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m 90 and on my death bed,
\nwill I see my life in red\u00e2\u20ac\u201d full of money and passion?
\nor will I see my life in green\u00e2\u20ac\u201d full of purpose, strong and lean?<\/p>\n

Living life is balancing on a telephone wire
\nTo let my soul soar through the fire<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/p>\n

To love my loved ones, like today were their last day
\nOr to remind myself, that today might be my last day.<\/p>\n

To remember the words of my umma<\/a>:
\nSon, always stay humble<\/em>
\n even though you might falter and stumble<\/em>
\n Keep sharing your passion and love with others<\/em>
\n and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care what your brothers or sisters say about you<\/em>
\n stick steadfast to your life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s passion, like super-glue.<\/em><\/p>\n

To know that every shoe doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fit every foot,
\nTo stay hooked on virtuous deeds,
\ndon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry about your own needs<\/p>\n

God will provide.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/p>\n

What is the purpose of my life?<\/p>\n
