The rhythm of life !
Life: is it all about the wealth we earn, or the things we miss along the way? - Ponder this.
If you are middle-aged, or beyond, pause and look back 20 years. What were your plans then? Have you reached the goals you set for yourself? And if you did, what happened next?
Perhaps each financial milestone, once reached, felt like a low-hanging fruit, so you set a higher target and began chasing again. The pursuit continued. The goals grew. The finish line kept moving.
Now, after 20 or 30 years, are you truly happy? What do your future plans look like? Many of us consider ourselves highly intelligent because we live in cities, earn well, own apartments, drive cars, and carry the signs of success.
But
change the scene.
A green field. A tree. A crow in flight. A dusty village road. An elderly couple. No trendy backpacks. Just a cycle and a cow. The husband gently helps his wife secure the load. And yet, they seem to be living happily ever after.
So who is really missing what? - Perhaps the city dweller has everything except contentment. Perhaps the villager has little except enough. And perhaps the greatest poverty is not lack of money, but lack of contentment / enoughness.
