The miracle of life

Posted on by philipdodson

We stare into that tiny screen looking and hoping for worthiness, for a miracle.

Yet the miracles of life and worthiness are all around us.

Our smartphone has become the biggest vulnerability shield that we can hide in.

Switch it off and enjoy the joy of real life, you only get the one chance don’t waste it inside a virtual world of consumption, judgement, click bait and other soulless life avoiding trash.

The miracle of life is love, friendship, human touch, human interaction, the natural world, art, photography, singing, music, water, the sky, adventure with the people who matter, open discussion, conversation, kindness, compassion and so much more. 

It is not another game of candy crush, a Facebook update, an Instagram like or snapchat streak.

The only winners there are the smartphone manufacturers, the social media platforms and the advertisers who subliminally get us to consume more.

The miracle of life is outside your phone.

Here’s what doesn’t matter and what does.

Here is what does not matter:

The colour of your skin.

Where you are from.

Your gender.

Your sexual orientation.

How you speak.

What language you speak.

Your religion.

Your age.

How much money you have.

How big your house is.

The job you do.

Your opinions.

Your choices as long as it does not harm others.

There are millions of things that don’t matter, we are all different, there is no right or wrong beyond hurting others in any way.

What matters?

We are all the same, we are all human beings.

We are all equal.

We show love to ourselves and others.

We respect ourselves and others.

We tolerate differences.

We show kindness to ourselves and others.

We look forward for the solutions, not backwards.

We stand as one against the people who choose to hurt others.

What really matters is humanity to all.

Be the change and leader that you want to see, every single on of us matters.

We all need to show up to bring about change.

My dream is that all women, children and men are equal. We are all part of the same human race.
