Hello and greetings to all TSF students,
I hope this message finds you well, in good health, and with a curious heart.
As we continue on this journey with the school fund, I want us to think beyond the act of saving money. I want us to think about a deeper principle that can guide everything you do, not just today, but for the rest of your lives. This principle is about making meaning.
Whatever you do—whether it's studying for a test, participating in a sport, or contributing to this fund—don't just go through the motions. Make it meaningful. Don't simply study to get a good grade; instead, study to truly understand. Don't just show kindness to others because you're told to; do it because you believe in the power of compassion.
This commitment to meaning is about going deep. It's about being willing to make a sacrifice for a purpose that matters to you. When you commit to something deeply, it’s no longer just a task; it becomes a part of who you are. The opposite of this is living on the surface, moving from one shallow interest to the next without ever truly connecting with anything. This can lead to a feeling of being incomplete, of lacking a core identity that is truly your own.
When you go deep into something, an incredible thing happens: the work itself begins to reward you. You no longer need to constantly seek validation from others—not from your teachers, your peers, or anyone else. Your progress and the results of your efforts will speak for themselves. You will be defined by your actions, not by the applause of others. This is because when you align your actions with deep purpose, you are also aligning with the principles of nature and the divine, which I believe is the Almighty God Himself.
The fruits of this commitment are clarity, peace, and an undeniable sense of purpose. You won't always need someone to tell you if you're on the right path; the results will confirm it for you. This is the ultimate freedom—to be a creator of your own meaningful journey, guided by a higher purpose.
Best Regards.
