My Manifesto of Insignificance

Knowing that my death is certain and my time of death is uncertain…
Knowing that the work I do matters and also will not last…

I’ll make every effort to do great work & art.
I’ll strive for progress not perfection.
I’ll love God & the people in my life.
I’ll forgive those who hurt me.
I’ll strive to know and be known.
I’ll to be open to life’s adventures.
I’ll laugh, cry and rest when needed.
I’ll enjoy today and live in the moment.

I challenge you to write you own Manifesto of Insignificance about your life.
