I have a simple philosophy. Empty what’s full. Fill what’s empty. Scratch where it itches. – Alice Roosevelt Longworth
The most courageous challenge in life is to be who you are.
It’s a hard challenge.
No kidding.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle is more and more gets in the way. Life doesn’t get in the way of living. It’s how we are living that can get in the way of life.
We are asked to believe that living is about what we have and what we get.
We are taught well: to fill up on the job, the career, the money in the bank, the car, the home, the holidays, the titles, the successes, the goals, the clothes, what we weigh, where we last ate, our postcode area. To fill up on the external.
I was speaking with someone recently who said, ‘I shouldn’t feel like this. My life is good. I have a great life. But why do I still feel so … I feel empty’.
Scratch harder peep. Scratch harder.
