Every day is a bonus

Posted on by philipdodson

If you are reading this you are alive.

You will have had a lifetime up to today.

There will have been good, bad, and ugly days.

The thing is every day that we wake up is a bonus, there is no guarantee, there is no contract that you’ll definitely get ‘x’ amount of life.

If you are here to just eat, sleep, work all hours to pay bills that make others wealthy and buying stuff that will not enrich our lives, then there is no point.

We are all here for our own individual purpose, spend a little time each day making this day count in some way towards that purpose, do something that brings you joy. Spend time with those who matter, make experiences, make memories.

Don’t waste the bonus that today is.

Illusions

Posted on by philipdodson

Often I have heard people say ‘it’s not what you do, it is what you’re perceived to be doing’.

The subterfuge, the illusion, the deception, is it worth it?

Perhaps, it works for a while in the ‘arse-covering’ world of the corporation.

But surely it is best to do the best you can, whenever you can.

Why create illusions?

Why not create the real thing?
