What to Do 1 comment

20 Jan 2003 @ 19:45, by Flemming Funch I have a strong agreement with Buckminster Fuller who said things like: "The things to do are the things that need doing - that YOU see need to be done, and that noone else seems to see need to be done." You know, I have the belief that every one of us is here to do something unique. It is not necessarily pre-destined or pre-determined what exactly it is. Probably rather something to discover or invent. But if we don't do something unique, if we don't add our unique perspective and sensibilities to the global soup of life, our life is somewhat wasted and meaningless. It doesn't have to be huge earth shattering things. It might be just a slightly different angle on things, which we impart to the people around us. Something we're present for, which nobody else paid any attention to. But there is for sure something that you can dream, something you can see, and something you can do, which nobody else has quite the same opportunity for. Bucky also says: "I look for what needs to be done.... After all, that’s how the universe designs itself." Life might seem meaningless unless you realize that you have an important role in co-designing the continued evolution of the universe. There are lots of things to do, so it would be silly to have a meaningless life.

To do the work of the Divine Creator and to co-create joy and harmony while being inspired on a daily basis, yes there is a meaning in life and it is exactly what we choose it to be. But where do those unconscious motivations which trip us up, come from?
