The Obstacle

What’s the point
Of our lives
Day by day
Year after year
All the way till the end?

We labor for
As much knowledge
Facts
Power
Influence
Land
Possessions
Money
Titles
Accolades
Accomplishments
Trophies
Treasure
Popularity
As possible.

This as life’s pursuit
Is that the point?

Are we satisfied with more?

Do any of these
Bring lasting happiness?

On our last day
Looking back
Will we wish
we had gotten more
Of any of this?

The Gift And Opportunity

What is the point?

Experience
Connection
Love
Health
Happiness.

All of these come
As a byproduct
Of the proper pursuit.

Making choices
Based on love
Not fear.

Seeking
Understanding.

Curiously
Exploring.

Creatively
Innovating.

Decisive
Action.

Pursuing the important
Not the urgent.

Being present.

Focusing our time and attention
With intention.

The point
Is to continuously
Become a better human.

That is the point of it all.
