Where are we going? What do we want from life? I started asking these questions of myself over two years ago when a health condition made me come face to face with my own mortality.
Since the death of my husband last month, I have asked this of myself again and again. I’m not sure of the answers yet, but I’m getting there…
For some it might be love that makes the world round. It’s certainly something all of us crave.
Not romantic love, but the sort that envelopes us all. Binds all humanity.
I’ve had a few setbacks in my business this month - things that would have upset me immensely earlier.
But because I am a little older, a little wiser than what I was two years ago, I can now shrug them off and say “C’est la vie.” Shit happens! But life has to go on…
Some of the things that I’ve drawn inspiration from this month.
The Interview With God - View the presentation. I loved it so much I bought the screensaver. My favourite line:
To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.
A friend recently introduced me to the Landmark Forum. I plan to do one of their programs this month.
Since I was a little girl, books have been my best friends. You can never be lonely when you have a good book to read.
Books that I read/am reading this month.
The Celestine Prophecy
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams & Reaching Your Destiny
It’s Not How SMART You Are It’s HOW You Are Smart
If you have your own grief to deal with or are still looking for your path in life, I hope these will help you as they are helping me.
Parting thoughts:
Cherish each day, every moment. The present is the only reality we have.
Cherish the people you love - your family, friends, people who nurture you.
At the end of the day you’re not going to ask how much more money you could have made or how many more hours you could have worked, but you will wish you could have given more of yourself to those who love you.
