A few months ago, I attended the Pachamama Alliance Awakening the dreamer, changing the dream seminar. I learned a lot but one of the things that stayed with me was a poem by George Bernard Shaw so I would like to share it with you.
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose, recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world wll not devote itself to making you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief cancle to me. it is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment. and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
P.S. I agree with everything he says!
