The game of LIFE

There are many ways to cope with the un-fair cards dealt to us in the game of life. There are many people we can blame for the empty void left in our souls. I have spoken before of the importance of being fulfilled and completely satisfied in our own lives. A lot of this fulfillment comes from a place where we spend most of our days and even more of our life. AT WORK. Even the word work doesn't jump off the page and excite you right to your bones. It is already asccociated in your mind as something boring and something that has to be done. Maybe I did not get the same memo as everyone else, but I think it is WRONG that we should settle on our role of employment simply because that is what we are told to do. I've seen mobs of people walking in the downtown core of Toronto, mostly dressed in black, driving black cars or holding up black umbrella's, and a million thoughts run through my head. I feel like they were all given the same set of rules and standards in life to follow in order to reach success. In those short moments of passing through the stampead of follow the leader, I realize my very own disctintions that seperate me from the rest of the herd. Not only the physical attributes like my red hair that is sometimes long or short depending on my mood. Or my bright green car that you could spot from a mile away. My internal voice of wisdom and of reason shout beyond the largest of moutains and reach to the heavens. I am stuck in a box of routines and schedules and routes leading to the "right" roads. In my opinion it is up to you and up to me to get ourselves out of this small box and create opportunities that may or may not find you. Don't play hide and seek with your own life. Seize and strive for the things, even the smallest of things that will make you smile at the very least.
