We work so hard to achieve more and thrive for success....but then when we get what we want we stand still and think...well ...now what????!!!!!
The Beatles sang, 'All you need is love.' But then, they were millionaire pop stars at the time. They already had money, fame, talent and even a degree of power. So perhaps it was true for them. Love was all they needed because they already had everything else. But what about the rest of us? Is love really all that we need too? That rather depends on what we mean by love, and by how deeply, sincerely and unconditionally we feel it. I feel there is already love in my life and there maybe whole lot more if I stay an optimist.... That may well prove to be, indeed, all I need!!!!!
We do not always feel able to be proud of our deepest desires. We often find ourselves feeling obliged to fight our appetites and resist our urges. It often seems as if the only way in which we can be 'good' is to do things which are dull. Only bad behaviour seems exciting. That's why life so often seems like one long inner wrestling match. So, should we struggle with ourselves ? Or is it OK to succumb to a powerful temptation? Perhaps that's between us and our conscience. But I will say this, some rules in this world were made to be broken.
