With a few exceptions, humanity as a whole dreams of a better world. Yet we lose sight of the fact that reaching a better world runs through the satisfaction of five (5) very precise dimensions of our life experience: where we live, what we do there, what we go through there, who we live there with and, finally, what we live on there.
Where do you live ?
Many of us live in cities, in countries, even on continents where we would not wish to live — and sometimes where we should not live. Some have the possibility of changing their setting, while for others it is less straightforward. We make do.
What do you do ?
Many of us hold jobs solely to earn a living, and not jobs that match our qualifications, our aspirations or even our pleasure. The only thing they answer to is our needs, and sometimes only our most basic needs.
What are you living through?
At work or in love, some are living through a derisory or chaotic situation, or a toxic and impoverished relationship. Poor in growth, poor in emotion, poor in intimacy, poor in dreams, and so on. You are living the pretence. You pretend in front of your manager in order to keep your job. You pretend in front of your wife, your husband, in order to keep him or her, to salvage a marriage that has become an empty shell, or simply to save face before the world.
Who do you live with?
Many of us have formed relationships with the “wrong people”; not that these people are bad in themselves, but the two partners do not make a good combination. They are not a “good match”. Your happiness may well lie with someone else. The consequences of sharing a life with the wrong person are more tragic and more disastrous than some imagine. Everything is swept up in it: your physical health, your psychological balance, your mental health, your wallet, your work, your family, your friends, in short, your LIFE.
What do you live on?
Many of us live on illusions, on regrets, on hopes nourished against a background of assorted disappointments. These imaginary situations create our daily life, every bit as illusory and precarious as the rest.
In reality, many of us endure situations rather than live them.
Through this message, I wish to pass on positive energy to you. That original, innocent energy, rid of every prejudice, which allows us to go where we want to go and to do there what we want to do.
I want to remind you that you are unique. You represent a value that is sure, certain and to be found nowhere else on the planet. You gather within yourself a flow of energy and potential that you alone possess. And somewhere on our planet, you are exactly the person the world needs in order to move forward, to unblock a situation, to prosper. You are as unique as your life. Nothing guarantees us that we will have another chance.
Use this energy to live a life in keeping with your self. That way, when you are asked the following questions again:
1- Where do you live? You will answer cheerfully: “I live where I want to live.”
2- What do you do? You will say brightly: “I do what I love to do.”
3- What are you living through? You will declare proudly: “I am living the life I want to live.”
4- Who do you live with? You will assert lovingly: “I live with the best person there is and we are blissfully in love.”
5- What do you live on? You will maintain enthusiastically: “ I live on joy, on money, on love of my neighbour, and with a light heart.”
Indeed, by acting in this way, we will contribute to the building of a better world. A world we all aspire to create, even though the path to follow is not always obvious.
