We are surrounded by images of what other people think
our life could or should be.
Television, movies, glossy magazines and store displays,
each carefully crafted to make us believe we need whatever
that is. There is an entire industry centered
around making us feel we lack something that will make
us happy.
Promotors of 'lack' paint a beautiful 'reality' that
is only attainable with studio extras, special lighting,
food stylists, and hairdressers on call.
We become so accustomed to their version of 'reality'
that we unconsciously begin to copy what we see, and
internalize the message of needing more in order to
be happy.
Stop and think a minute. What is reality? Is
it a carefully crafted scene?
Or is it more like the laughter of a child, the dew
on the grass, a home cooked meal, or the sense of satisfaction
in a day well-lived?
Open your eyes to your own reality. Clear out
the 'constructed' desires, and listen to your soul.
