RE: Teach me from your wisdom

in #ocd4 years ago

This is really beautiful!! It IS all about connection, love, community, creation and passion. Soooo much distraction and BS around us - we need to step back and think about what we will be saying when we live to be 100. Few course corrections might be required!!!

Hey! Thank you so much, you totally understood my idea behind this post. It's so easy to get lost behind all of the petty things and forget about the essentials.
I often observe how people chase so many years the wrong things. Status, validation, luxury items. All this running ahead with no idea about real happiness. I see parents giving their children phones just to get some peace of mind when they should enjoy the childhood because it's never going back. I see people swiping on dating apps cheating on their lovers, thinking that there is always the next best thing around the corner, instead of trying to form a meaningful connection. I see people chasing the wrong dreams, pursuing wrong friendships and living day to day like they have an eternity waiting for them. I just thought about all of this while watching this video and I was so humbled to see how the elderly enjoy the little things, are happy for every accomplishment and look at life as it is a gift every second.

I trully believe more of us should take an example from this kind of people and try to improve the way we look at life. We will all leave empty handed from here so we might as well focus on the spiritual. On what really matters. Our illusionary eternity never waited for us from the get go.

I appreciate you took the time to read and also share on twitter! 😊🤗
