A Wisdom Download
If I am to be truly successful, my success should not be defined
by my possessions which tend to attach themselves and stick to us
like glue; and I must clearly choose to have a less crowded life.
My best life is one that has been simplified and built upon a firm
foundation; one that wont quickly fade or vanish like vapor; one
unlike plastic lives that are so limited, fickle, and shallow.
There is nothing wrong with the worker bee, but the workaholic
could learn much from the eagle who has learned to soar, not
by the flap of his wings, but by waiting for the wind.
In this world of high tech and fast speed, loving much is the
shortest path to happiness, and instant gratification is the
shortest route to dissatisfaction.
Fulfillment often involves consuming less and shedding more as
we invite ourselves to experience more quality and less quantity.
When we cultivate love, we will harvest a bumper crop of fulfillment.
May we anticipate and gravitate toward a life that gives more of itself.
Time is a friend to all, but it demands that we 'do it now'.
We gain more when we invest more in clarity than in complexity.
Of this I am certain: Narcissism is far more complicated than
selfless simplicity, and God keeps it simple where it matters most.
