To their Sinful Delights

While not all of us can hold jobs in an area we love, we can certainly spend our spare minutes, hours and days working on those delights and passions. Yes, you are always welcome to volunteer by giving food to the poor or investing money into an NGO but you are not using a true talent in these actions. You are using your ability to love, no doubt, but if you enjoyed something, I imagine the impact your could have by bettering your passion (in spite of the fact that you are unable, at the moment, to pursue it due to money constraints) would be magnificent.

 If you've ever heard of the janitor from the Bronx who played music so beautifully, people believed he had to have a different mind than any human. A man with no formal education who simply loved to play. And he touched hearts and minds; not by spending his time catering to others but by forcing himself to be better, to being the best during his hours of leisure from mopping university halls. And once he was, he shared it with the world. I wish we could all aspire to the same goal. If you truly want to give a gift, give your own personal gift--the gift you work years and years to perfect until it is a memorable, unique, awe-inspiring piece of art.
