The Secret

The Secret

It seems we are told the story about how to create more wealth more abundance and yet in truth we misunderstand that the things of real value lie not in attaining more but in appreciating and forgiving each other.

I worked in a hospice as a volunteer some years ago, i went in believing i could cure all those i touched and yet i learned that healing is sometimes about softening a path for another and simply offering a hand to hold or just to "be" with another.

I met all walks of life there, i watched a woman be wheeled out each morning on her bed so that she could feel the warmth of the sun or feel the rain upon her skin as that moment could be her last chance.

I learned to respect anothers acceptance of there time had come,i learned that determination carries a person only so far,i learned that wisdom is nothing about how long a person has lived for but about the insight they have gained as they pass through life.

In all my time there no one wanted to spend time with there big house or ferrari.

Here's the real secret,what people wanted was to do was to tell another "i Love you" to spend as much time as they had left by being with another human being.That may not be fashionable to say these days,but it is true.

I learned my secret here, that what matters most in this life is love,and the simple things in our life.Yet we pursue with a passion things of "value" that are really meaningless in the context of life. We are brainwashed and cultivated to believe money and matter are Gods and yet deep down we know this isn't true.

I can guarantee you this much, you will feel the same ,if you were to ask a millionaire swap your million for one more hour with someone you have loved every time they would without hesitation swap.

So you have value in your life the moment you nurture the love you have,the moment you awake to the realisation the simple things in life answer your deepest needs.

I believe there is a continuation in life, that what we strive for is somehow carried forward in our children or those we have met, that nothing is wasted in life,nothing is ever truly lost.

That the real secret the real journey in our lives is the return to love and each experience of adversity gives us the opportunity to learn to love

Love is the only true healing balm apply is where necessary to oneself and others.
