What ultimately drives us to do what we do… to live the way we live… to walk the paths we walk?  Acting on instinct and inspiration…listening to influences of friends/family, the media, loved ones, mentors and commentators!  In an age where we have so much information right at our fingertips….so much wealth , opportunity and luxury yet perhaps as a result of this so much more internal dialogue and decision making….maybe not, but I think so…at least I do anyway or (think I do )

Options, options and more options.. to choose one.. to choose wisely.. we all want the best.. to succeed in our own eyes..in the eyes of society…to simply be happy and healthy..the ever changing perceptions and perspectives of life..

Being true to ourselves.. then being as true as possible to others.. making a path that fits.. creates joy and fulfillment… we each have such pheonomenal gifts to share and I think the trick if finding a way to get them out whilst balancing all the other “life stuff”.. equally as wonderful yet more routine and easier to get all caught up in….IT IS COLD IN MAINE..too bad I am not in the Caribbean today

The drive to accomplish….this seems to be an innate human characteristic …it can make up happy, it can stress us out.. it simply gives us something to do .. it enables us to do wonderful things….build and create..imagine and entertain.  How do we measure accomplishment…economically, spiritually, emotionally? Life and our perspective are  in a continual shift… what was important yesterday.. may not be so today and what never crossed ones mind last week could be the source of obsession tomorrow.  I think one key is the constant re-evaluation of it all as each moment…each minute gives us a fresh start to realize our potential…to reflect on our past..to make plans for the future…

What makes us happy? What drives us to do what we do?  We are continually connecting, interacting, experiencing.. some times are fun and fantastic.. other times not so much…do we act and interact the way we do beacause of the way we were raised and nurtured  or are we pre-programmed.. pre-wired by the building blocks of life and our genetic codes.. what happens when a traumatic event strikes… a shift in consciousness.. a new way of thinking.. how does this all happen.. why does it happen…is there a reason and purpose or is life all random? What are our true motivators..selfishness and self interest or is it a deeper sense of connectedness…a  desire to find harmony and balance within ourselves..within the universe…lots of questions..I guess this is what happens when you read the books your spiritual adviser recommends Check her out at www.dagnystjohn.com
