I have been watching a fantastic film called “Into the Wild” and it made me think….
why is it, that just because we have worked so hard for something throughout our lives, through education and careers, that we think what we have ‘achieved’ means so much and has so much weight in who we are??
I think that only when we have lost/ given up/ walked away from everything we have ever worked for, and followed the rat race of society into believing is what we need, do we actually realise that having nothing gives us everything we ever wanted….
the freedom to appreciate our own state of mind, to develop our own unadulterated opinions (not following what your peers dictate is right) to understand exactly what sort of person we are and to re-evaluate what we want out of life.
I guess I’m saying that if I lost everything right now it wouldn’t be so bad… as long as I had clarity of mind I could appreciate the opportunity I was given and use it to its full advantage. Sometimes I think that wealth of money and education blinds us and drags us into a life where we are terrified of loosing and taking risks.
I liking having the freedom of not being tied into anything and knowing that where I am right now was my choice.
