Finding Meaning in the Meaningless

Speaking of meaningless, here is a chicken in a tree in Barbados. They would fly up and sleep there at night. I thought they couldn’t fly but I was wrong

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why are babies born with illnesses that prevent them from having any chance at what we call a normal life? Why can’t life be fair?

Evil people should be punished, and yet many of them seem to be rewarded in this society. The prisons are full and yet the streets still teem with criminals. Gun violence and stabbings and robberies fill the news, and fraud and computer crimes are on the rise.

Why does it have to be this way?

And is it really this way?

Struggle

I walked this beach in Puerto Rico for hundreds of hours. I finally found what I was looking for

Sometimes I look back and retrace the path that led me to where I am today. While I don’t indulge in this behaviour all of the time, there are moments when I find it useful to remember how far I have come.

I used to believe that struggling and working hard were the necessary components to finding success. I now know that struggling and working hard only made me miserable.

When you begin to find clarity and a sense of purpose, it is amazing how things start to flow with a sense of ease. Circumstances beyond your control begin to align themselves to assist you with what you are doing.

Coincidences and synchronicity become a normal part of life.

Be Who You Want to Be – Joy

There is joy to be found wherever you look

When you experience joy, it is truly unlike any other emotion. There is such a sense of freedom and clarity that comes with it, and the purity of the emotion brings peace and a sense of ease.

If we could feel joy in every moment, what a wonderful life it would be!

What stops us from feeling this way? Mostly it is the expectation that things should be different than how they are at the moment. There is a distance between where you are and where you wish to be.

If you could find joy in just being alive, then each day would be a success as soon as you opened your eyes. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful feeling?
