> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #45: life
I was having a conversation with a student the other day. He said, “But one thing I love about life…”
My mind raced — scouring my memories to find the last time I said those words, searching for the feeling that stayed longer than a fleeting moment, rushing to remember the heaviness of the current state of humanity. Why would that phrase be a constant in my daily conversations when the divide feels unmanageable, when the rationalization of whether someone’s actions cause irreparable damage, when selfishness becomes the way to justify the harm we cause?
But maybe that is the problem. We decreased or halted talking about the things we love about life to focus on what someone else may receive, allowing fear to dictate our behavior. Our thoughts become our reality, generating a multitude of ways to create internal dysfunction, pulling our heart further from our mind. We’ve entered a space where time is of the essence — to lead with love, with courage, and with humanity.
My challenge for us is to find one daily love from life. The future is counting on us.
