I went for a long walk this morning in my new parka, (because it is pouring with rain in perth) and I have been really challenged by the word ‘because’
When I was a teenager, I am sure my mum will passionately tell you my response to most of her questions was ‘BECAUSE!’. Said with much attitude, disrespect and bubbling anger.
Today though only years later, (okay maybe decades), I am using this word to define my choices in life and to help me define what I am truly living for.
Living with the word because helps me decide truly what I should, would or could be doing, because…
Living with a because for me means…
I was born because…
I won’t do that because…
I want to cut back on spending because…
I will go through the pain of publishing another book because…
I challenge others to live a bigger life because…
I watch Oprah because… (SMILE)
Life for me is no dress rehearsal and although popular culture professes the love of Hinduism and all things reincarnate, I believe I’m not coming back and the uniqueness of my being is not replicable.
So I live with ‘the because’ firmly planted in the front of my mind because…
What about you?
A
