…. what would you be doing?
I often ask people this because I truly believe that if we didn’t have to make money, we would be creating. We’d be making, designing, cooking, discovering, and experiencing life in the most creative way that is natural to us.
The challenge is that we have built a world around the pursuit of money rather than the pursuit of our innate being; to be at one with nature and our surroundings.
Why do we love to lie back on the grass and look at the sky, or feel the sun on our skin or walk in the rain? When we seek moments of relaxation, peace and rest, it’s because we want to connect with nature.
In this act of being, we’d be challenging things around us, we’d question and wonder. The time allowed to experience this is all being slowly taken away and less and less time is being devoted to the act of wondering because we are wondering how to pay our bills and afford to buy food or stay healthy.
Don’t get me wrong, these are valid things to be wondering about however they shouldn’t consume us, there is enough food in the world, nature has provided us with endless remedies for all our ills and as for bills, if not for greed, we could all afford them.
What am I saying? Embrace creativity and the act of wonder and curiosity as if your life depended on it, because in a way your life does. It’s this act of living and thinking this way that fuels the spirit, a stirring energy deep within – it’s our human nature.
