Love conquers all

Posted on by philipdodson

Don’t wait for others
Don’t wait for the weather to change
Don’t wait for permission
Don’t let your dreams fade
Don’t wait for more money
Don’t wait for more time
You have all that you need right now

Give without conditions
Be kind without conditions
Love without conditions
Be the leader you want to see
Be the change you want to see
Be the person you want to be
Do not worry what others think

Inspire
Think different
Be curious
Have a purpose
And make your stay on this rock count
Life is fragile
We have the sunrise and sunset today
Be grateful for all that we have
Look for what you have got already not what you don’t
Seek peace
Seek love
Laugh, smile, cry, sing, hug, be grateful

Life is a gift to treasure
We do not know for how long
Remember the ones we loved who are gone
Make it count with the people who matter always
One time here, one life, love conquers all

Death and taxes

Posted on by philipdodson

These were said to be the only certainties in life.

Well, maybe as tech advances death may no longer be a certainty, taxes I suspect won’t be vanishing any time soon.

Yet we are suckers for wanting to buy certainty through school grades, lottery tickets, shortcuts, get rich quick schemes and so on. We want ever less risk and even more safety. We are sold fear and then we look to get a solution either from the arms of the industrialised complex or the state.

However, the magic of life is the uncertainty, that is what makes life dangerous, exciting, adventurous, meaningful and a struggle. Without it, there is little point. Struggle took the human race from the plains of Africa to inhabiting the entire planet and doing all the magical things in between.

We will only go backwards without risks and without a struggle.

Don’t seek certainty, seek adventure, risk and the beautiful uncertainty that life gives us if we look for it and let go of clinging to the inside of the circle with the masses. The fun is always right at the edge.
