Everybody has got a purpose
and everybody has got a dream.
The theory that fell into my head today around 3:15 PM was that there are many ways for a person's life to play out, depending on if they realize their purpose and/or their dream, and how they go about achieving it.

There are a few combinations to break down here and fortunately I'm in a great state of mind to explain in detail before I get hungry and lose interest.
The first thing that should be known in this theory is Purpose.
No matter what becomes of a person's life, wether it be lived and viewed as a great success or a tragic failure, the person in question will inevitably serve their purpose. This purpose could be a number of small, seemingly insignificant things, or one big memorable thing. And furthermore, it can occur in one spectacular moment, or at many different junctures in a person's life.
The Purpose could be good, it could be bad, it may even have a domino effect that could echo through time, producing a moment, event or occurrence that will never be feasibly traced back to its' origin. But that last thought isn't really important right now. I don't wanna get into time travel here - I haven't smoked ganja in quite some time.
The point to remember is that Purpose is inevitable, however, a person's Dream, if properly introduced and nurtured in the equation of life, can lead to an even great conclusion of Purpose.
Some people never truly realize their dream, and sadly, even if they do, they often don't believe in them-self enough to pursue it, or they make too many compromises that block the path to their dream.
Should a person feel strong enough to pursue their dream with full determination and focus, then they are sure to achieve it, or come close enough to be happy and feel complete.
In an incalculable amount of lives lived, a person's purpose is in fact the same or very similar to their dream, leading them to exactly what they are destined to be. Most of us have no way of knowing if our dream and purpose are running on the same line, and so it should be. If one knows their dream, they're half way there- the easy half. What is crucial for the rest of this person's life is staying resolutely on the path of their dream and working toward the goal with one question in mind; HOW to get there.
In some cases that are hard to swallow, a person may be destined with a purpose of dying in an accident or from a disease. They may be on their way to achieving their dream or may have even reached their goal and got to momentarily bask in the glory of their dream before death took them. Regardless of how tragic it may seem, it is far better to leave this world on the path of your dream than it is to be a lost soul, wandering until either death or meaning presents itself. If a person hasn't realized their dream yet, they need not worry, but they must also not waste time.
