I’m not asking how much you make each day. Nor even the amount of money in your bank account. But I may ask how old you are; how much more time is left for you to make a “difference”…
There are pros and cons of being away from everyone. In my case, I tend to reflect on my life ---the things I do and what more to do (among others). I usually assess a lot of aspects in my life --- what did well, what went wrong? what needs to be done? If feels nice to have ample time for myself (a.k.a. “me time”), to pray and to catch up on my reading. *smiles*
This morning, I thought of changing a bit of my routine. I had breakfast before shower. I normally do it the other way around. I find it interesting to be seated in one place, observing people around me whilst I eat. *haha* I was in the hotel restaurant at 7am and looked at each people entering the door from different places, different nationalities, who were dressed differently and have variety of food on their plates…Then, I realized the common denominator --- everybody was in a hurry, very busy and seemed like there’s a lot of things running in their heads.
I wonder what’s on their mind...having the power to read peoples’ mind is something I would like to have even for a day. *hmmm*
“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
An excerpt from Tuesdays with Morrie
Do you happen to think this way? Have you thought about these questions? I do. I want to make a difference. I want to give meaning to my life and touch lives of people. How? That I have to answer by myself. *wink*
