We have major advances making our lives better and easier, yet it seems like people aren’t any happier. Humans are living longer than ever before, have access to modern medicine, free education, and ready made food. None of these things however speak to what is in our souls. With all the modern conveniences many of us have lost our purpose, our sense of community. We work jobs that we don’t like in order to survive, not being fulfilled in the work that fills our days.
Many people get stuck in this cycle of wanting more for themselves and their families yet are too scared take a risk to switch to something more rewarding. We distract ourselves with purchases and entertainment, forgetting our worries for a bit. We fail to believe in ourselves. We fail to believe in possible success, so we don’t try. Or perhaps if we do try, we give up too easily.
What makes your heart sing? What things bring you the most joy when you do them? If you could do something to make the world a better place what would you do?
If I could do one thing to make the world a better place I would help people get in touch with what their soul is crying out to do. I would want to teach them how to listen to themselves and follow their heart. Teach them to believe in themselves enough to go after their dreams.
I believe when we are listening to ourselves and following our soul’s calling it makes us happy. What do you believe is the key to being happy?
