"Do You Want To?" (Part 1)

Picking a new activity to keep your mind active is something a lot of people think is A) Foolish, B) A waste of time, or C) Overrated. When you look at your life, tell me, what is it about life you enjoy? It’s very sad that a lot of the responses that I would hear would be, “I don’t know,” or “Nothing.” What can you do to change that? Well, let’s first start by asking you, “Do you want to?”

You can say out loud, “I want to change my life!” Talk is cheep though. It’s what we do with after our words that matter. We can say that our life needs more meaning all we want. Meaning in our life is only relative to our circumstances we keep hold of. I.e.: Do I have to hold on to hate or jealousy like I do? Your life is easy to fill. Now what you fill it with… that’s a different story.

Picture a vase. It’s clear crystal and curves downward form a wide open mouth to its thin waist. Then, at about two thirds the ways down, it starts to push out to fit a much wider base. Try this. Take a large bag of marbles. Fill the vase about three fourths the way up. Then take four tennis balls and try to put them in the vase having the tennis balls reach pass the mouth. It won’t work. What’s my point? Filling you life with small thing, like hate, jealousy, money problems, looks, ex., leaves no room for want really matters. Love ones and the relationships you have with them is one. Your self confidence is another. The world is packed with petty crap; don’t let your life be the same. So, do you want to? Do you want to make your life better? How can you? ...I smell part two coming!
