Create a life of being and not doing, as humans are human beings and not human doings.

Meaning of life?
Meaning in my words can also be what purpose I have in life? Looking back it is most probably also a journey as at different points of my life, life did have a different purpose or meaning for me.
As life is made up of moments and choices and these have an impact on one’s future life. It is also important that I learned out of mistakes/choices I made on this journey. I do believe that life prepare us for what is to come. So would that mean learning from life’s meaning? What is life inspiring in me?
Meaning would then be for me personally the contribution I can make to the world, offering my gifts. Through this I am then able to Worship God through my contribution.
So meaning will be different for each individual based on their personal way of looking at the world. So meaning will depend on the person’s identity at a certain point and can change over time as identity or I would prefer to say the human being changes.

Just another day?
We are at the end of another year. It leaves me with a question; What makes the difference between 31 December and 1 January, is it not just another day or is it 2008 and 2009 that makes a difference?
However it is like everyday a good time to do some personal reflection, that bring me to the following quote:
“A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it.” Unknown
Although I believe strongly to live for today, I also believe that the actions and thoughts of today will build a path towards the accomplishments of tomorrow.
So what will be the thing be that will fill my tomorrows, so that I know what I am aiming at. These things must bring balance and purpose to my life and have eternal value.
Take the last day of 2008, reflect, dream and write down those things that you would like to fill the moments of 2009 with.
May your 2009 be filled with moments of God’s blessings.
The rat race…
Whilst reflecting on the rat race we are engage in every day… With responsibilities as husband, farther, a job and I enjoy it by the way and the list goes on.
Being realistic we all just have twenty four hours per day, so what we keep ourselves busy each day will determine the outcome of our lives. The question most probably is then what are the actions in our do lists?
Is it actions that take us nearer to our goals?
Is it actions whereby we live out our gifts?
Is it actions that create a legacy for us or is it to please other or to please our own ego’s?
Is our actions balanced to contribute to the following parts of our lives?
We must reflect on what we do to ourselves in this rat race, our days could be filled with joy living to the fullest each day, our just surviving.
What will people say looking back at your live, it was a live lived to create a legacy or will they put an inscription on your tombstone:
To do done
Dead anyway!
