Do you sometimes ask yourself: What am I here for? What’s the meaning of it all?
If so, you and me both! I love asking deep beautiful questions that challenge the state we’re in to always live the truest version of ourselves. While our soul might be on this never ending spiritual journey, our human experience isn’t. It’s limited. At the end of it all, when the bell rings, coz it will, we want to truly feel grateful for the life we had. If it all stopped right now, could you say: What a life well-lived?
I know it sounds a bit dark and intense, but it’s only by stirring the pot from the bottom up and around that we get to taste the fullness life has to offer. And really, what else are we here for, but to connect, share with each other, feel whole and wholesome? Every time some tragedy unfolds in the world, it’s the positive expression of our humanity that transcends it all. Let’s not wait for a tragedy to shine our humanity.
The biggest threat to our happiness is
THE DEFAULT BUTTON.
In every moment, we have a choice: to be happy or not. In every moment, we get the chance to (co-)create the life we want to have. But we can only change what we’re aware off… That’s why the biggest threat to our happiness is the default button. LIVE BY DESIGN, not by default.
To help you get the pot stirring and the design starting, I put those 3 Questions together:
If time and money were not issue, what would I want to do and have?
If I had to let go of everything (physical, material, emotional…) weighing me down, what would I let go of?
What would I need to embrace to become the best and highest version of myself?
Now, put pen to paper and jolt down what comes to mind!
Oh wow - we went there. (If you haven’t written anything yet, pause here, go back and REALLY do it. I promise, it’s life-changing!) Truth is, we have about 30,000 thoughts a day - would it kill us to spend time with at least 3 decent worthy ones?! Most people don’t dare ask those questions. It’s scary, just like retirement plans are when you haven’t prepared your financial future!
But it doesn’t have to be scary at all. It can be so fun! Remember this: YOU are creating your life. That’s worth some time and effort.
