My Early Morning Thoughts on Purpose

I woke up very early this morning and wrote this short epistle on my life and purpose.

When I was a kid, I had dreams of becoming a scientist, a painter, a sketcher, a writer and so much more. I wanted to be a lot of things for a lot of reasons. And I had all the talents and inclinations to go with my dreams. 
Growing up, I started to learn that it is not good for a man to do or be too many things. That the world we live in is a world of specialization and blah blah blah. I allowed what the world said to get to me, so I started streamlining. 
However, over the past 2 years, I have discovered that this type of life- the streamlined, specialized life- is not for me. I mean, all of the people I look up to do not fit into one box. They are many things and do many things. People like Leonardo da Vinci, William Shakespeare, Count Leo Tolstoy, Leke Alder, etc. 
I have found out that I am not born to be what people want from me neither am I born to fit into convention. I will be many things and I will do many things, it's just a matter of time.
What are you born to be and do? Do you know it yet? If you don't, you need to find out quickly and live your life the way you're meant to. God bless you.

So, what is your purpose? And what inspires you?
