Values and Wishes

How many of us live other people’s lives?  Do you?  Have you truly looked at your wishes/desires/goals and your values and do they tie up or compliment each other? Society is so driven by the next best thing to buy, have or do in order to be something that we all are caught up in this back to front way of living.  We have desires which are not really true to ourselves and we chase the end point all the time without allowing ourselves to experience and learn from the journey. We want instant gratification – an end result.

 

When we find who we are and we learn to love that person, we realise that we just have to Be.  And by Being we end up Doing what we love and we Have all that we desire.      

 

 

 

Social Wisdom

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
