The question, “Why are you here?” can be interpreted in several different ways.

Why were you born?

Why are you living where you live?

Why are you reading this article?

I will answer the last question first and the first question last. The middle question I will leave to you.

I feel compelled to talk about why you were born because it’s an important question. You must believe so, too, or have some curiosity about it, and that’s why you’re reading this article.

Now back to the first question: Why were you born? Before I answer that, I’d like to narrow the question to this: Why were you born at this particular time in history?

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that you’re here right now. If you’ve believed, felt, or thought the world is in a different “place” today than it’s ever been, you’re right. This time in history — in fact, every moment of history — is a moment that will never be repeated.

And you can make an impact on history — your moment in history — by understanding this:

You were born to BE MORE.

BE MORE — but be more…what?
