I often wonder about us, humans and how confused and yet all-knowing we tend to be. We carry on like we know everything but, we end up completely missing what is right there in front of us; screaming and waving at us to see it but in our seriousness to make something of life, in our certainty that life is this very serious thing that needs to be conquered, that needs mighty degrees and lofty all important sounding titles, we miss the very things we claim to be searching for.
This is quite deep. Got me really thinking about what I had and lost because I was pursuing what I thought I wanted.
I love that fable and often weigh major life decisions through that lens. When I do that, I find out that more isn't always better
I also realize that I have all that I need currently so why give up the things I NEED in pursuit of the things I WANT ?
We all have to be intentional in defining success for ourselves and not the way society portrays success.
Thanks for the reminder Ije
