A deeper life


Superficial likes.

Manipulation.

Cheating.

Judgment.

Trolling.

Bullying.

Hate.

Racism.

Meanness to others.

Shallowness, because we want to fit in, to be popular, to be in the crowd. This behaviour has to be learned.

We can choose as a human race to teach ourselves to live a deeper, richer life. To unlearn the mean society we have collectively created and allowed.

We could choose to be kind, be compassionate, be giving, be empathetic and be loving.

Think, say and do only good things.

After all, none of us like to be on the receiving end of shallow self-centred behaviour.

We can all choose to be strong and be the change we want to see.

Don’t fit in.

It takes courage but the world needs all of us to be part of the change, to do our bit.

We don’t have to be fearful of setting boundaries, being the person we really are, having the courage to be different. If we are brave and be ourselves, then the right people will be attracted to us and it will inspire others to follow.

No good waiting for others and no good being shallow just to fit in.

Who’s in for living a deeper life?

Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

We are always looking for it.

Lottery tickets, betting on something, looking for the shortcuts, trying to find a way to get to the pot of gold.

Yet our pot of gold is on our hands every day of our life, we just have to invest in getting it.

Invest the time and effort in ourselves and our dreams, work on it every day, trying to improve and get better.

There are no shortcuts that are worthwhile.

The long-term game is the only one to play and you will then get to your pot of gold, whatever ‘gold’ is for you, maybe happiness, joy, fulfilment, meaning…..If it’s money, then perhaps carry on trying to find the end of the rainbow, or buy more lottery tickets.

Hard work, commitment, discipline, passion, determination, applying learning, patience and love will bring gold.
