Day 2971: Contentment in A World of Consumerism

Leave a reply

If all you have now is all you ever will have would you still be grateful?- that’s my question to the world

 

It’s 11: 13 AM on day 2971 of my journey towards independence and I managed to  spend time outside, read a Bible verse  and do some work

 

Today I found myself wondering if all you have now is all you ever will have would you still be grateful – in our consumerist society could we possibly be content with enough while still striving to be all of who we were born to be…I hope it’s possible FOR ALL OUR SAKES because this more-is-more culture is destroying Earth (literally).

Day 2443: The Source of my Truest Joy and Contentment

Leave a reply

Giving was, is and always will be the source of my truest joy and contentment – that’s what I now know.

 

It’s 11: 36 AM on day 2443 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 1 Corinthians 2:12, watch myself and my Superhero Catherine Constantinides on TV – thank you to the Expresso Show for sharing footage of my paraglide and allowing us to tell South Africa about the people of the Western Sahara –   have breakfast and learn a new word – Definitions for memoriter 1. by heart; by memory. 2.involving or requiring memorization: the memoriter aspects of a college course.

 

Today I realized that no matter how far I get in this life or whatever else I accomplish giving was, is and always will be the source of my truest joy and contentment I guess every human circles back to that realization sooner or later (the impact of our lives on the world and on other people will be our enduring legacy).
