Like Working For The Wind….

Here’s a question we all need to ask ourselves often: when I die will it even matter that I existed? If we don’t have the mentality to leave this earth a better place then we have some serious issues with our mother’s only child ;) If we focus solely on pleasing ourselves, then we will guarantee one thing, we will leave this world no better off than when we came. As Solomon says, it’s “like working for the wind”. It’s not until we get cured of our disease, “ingrownus eyeballus”, that we realize there’s more to this life beyond myself. I guess it won’t be until scientists finally pinpoint the center of the universe and discover that I don’t live there that I can move beyond myself. Life is all about relationships. They take selfless effort to make work. If you make a hard effort to build true, real, deep relationships with others, I can guarantee one thing: you will leave this earth better than when you came. It’s starts by accepting God as the center of existence, not me.

16 And this, too, is a very serious problem. People leave this world no better off than when they came. All their hard work is for nothing–like working for the wind. 17 Throughout their lives, they live under a cloud–frustrated, discouraged, and angry. Ecclesiastes 5:16-17
