WHAT MAKES SENSE?



A beautiful picture was hanging squarely on the wall. From a distance, I took notes:

How can we turn things around to begin living a life that is filled with well-being, meaning and fulfilment -- a life that does make sense?  The majority of the people in this world are living in a way that simply doesn't make sense.  We are a species that has lost its way.

Well, what doesn’t make sense?

  • Constantly thinking about the anxieties of your future.
  • Living your life based on societies expectations.
  • Being on a constant drive to be and acquire more:  “Bigger, better, more”. More wealth, more possessions, more power, more status. Greed!!


Then, what makes sense?

  • Finding pleasure in the little things. Within every single moment lies a gift for us to discover, and when we are present we can take what the moment provides us with, whereas when we aren't present we miss out on that beauty.
  • Discovering who you are at your very essence. Giving your greatest self to the world.
  • Embracing life now. Live the life that your innermost self wants you to live. Follow the deep drive within you to fully express yourself in every aspect



I ask you, if you were diagnosed with having a brain tumour, would you still continue to live the way that you are right now? Would making money seem so important to you? Would you care about having and being more? Would you care about impressing others? Or would you care more about expressing your authentic self and making a difference in the lives of others?

What would you dream to do if you knew that you would not fail? What would your life look like if you knew nobody would judge you?

For 35 minutes, I sat along the cemetery pathway. This time I had glasses. Then came this lady whom I had been watching from a distance. Though I ought to have consoled her, she held me by the shoulders and started; “…you get older, and you learn there is only one sentence and if you can say it to yourself it offers more comfort than almost any other; I am not going to live like this anymore! Some make that decision at 15, some at 25, others at 50 while most never make it. By this time, she sits by my right side. Then continues, “Life is generous to those who pursue their personal legend. One stroke at a time, everyone is intended to become the person they choose to become. Without gambling for the future, one should take control of their environment. However, look; there are certain times in our life when we don’t get to choose what happens. It’s tough to know when to accept your circumstances, and when to take the reigns and make a concerted effort to influence your life...
