What do I want from life? (1)

We have taken a break in our building process for the past two weeks. Enjoying the beautiful nature in Chiang Mai and surroundings again. And automatically more time for other things and some personal deepening.

For example, I listened to a presentation that resonated and invited you to go deeper into it. The key question in it was: “What do I want from life?”.

I have long since discovered that it has nothing to do with money, position, reputation, an expensive car, etc .. Regardless of what you achieve in life, it is never enough. I laugh more and more about it. These are the worldly things that when you look deeply at them may sometimes make you temporarily happy.

For example, Christmas is nearby again. The essence of that celebration can be sought further and further. It is a period that has degenerated into mainly buying and the cultivation of desires for things that you actually do not need at all. Do those gadgets really make you happy for a long time? A drone in the sky that kindly asks you to go home because it is too busy in the city with shopping people is actually telling you, you need to stop for a while from your continuous temporary happiness satisfaction.

But back to that important question. To answer that question for yourself, you have to go further and deeper than all those superficial things in which we all usually get stuck. It is good to think about, maybe especially at the end of this year again, not having a mouth full of teeth at the end of your life if you wonder whether you actually lived or whether you may have missed something essential.

To be continued.
