Wake up to what?
I am here to love my God with all my heart and try to grow in a relationship with him. I have long disregarded most of the secular society.
What I don't do:
What I do:
Interesting you don't think expanding your potential as important.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -- Teddy Rosevelt
My potential to do/be what? What matters in this world? What can you take when you die?
All you can be. If nothing matters then God doesn't matter. What your soul/energy has gained.
Not exactly true; God matters even if nothing exists at all. Why were we made? What is our purpose? It's simple. We were commanded and then later it was reiterated. We are here to love God, to develop as strong of a relationship with God that we can. To trust God with all of our heart. That is all. In doing so, our actions will do as he has asked, we will take care of his creations. We will use our individual gifts to help with that. "Be all you can be" not exactly, be all God wants you to be. No more, no less. Of coarse we all fall short of what God asks of us. None of us are perfect, thus none of us our worthy of being in communion with him, but Jesus suffered and died so we may be forgiven
