One of the most powerful life questions I've ever came across can be summed up in Marianne Williamson's quote:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-- Marianne Williamson

This video I wanted to share because I believe it's hard to view it without being touched on a very deep level.  My eyes still get blurry nearly everytime I see it.  An example of what it means to be human... unity, Love, hope, and inspiration.  The sheer number of people who came together in support of this little girl was simply AMAZING!  Unfortunately Mila has passed away, but her spirit still remains in the hearts of all of those who followed along with Andi and Mila's inspiring journey.  Bless them!

It seems evident that the fact that we are created as individuals provides the most efficient ability for the universe to express acts of Love where it is needed at exactly the time it is needed.  When we are connected to the source, we can be used as the universe's manifested energy to do good in the world.  An act of goodness, is an act of Love, is an act of G-d.  We are channels through which Light can be shown where before there seemed to be none...

Our bodies are merely tools (albeit extraordinary tools)  for us to co-create in this dimension of existence the will of the universe.

To give a visualization, if a person was trapped under a car, do we expect the car to magically raise off the endangered individual?  The universe would utilize the nearest being (whoever it may be) to harness the energy to perform the act of Love required to save that person's life.

What more efficient a way for the universe to express Love but through each and every one of us?
