I am.

And I notice I'm crazy about Hannes Couvreur's brave perspective below. It seems to me to be a much more do-able "philosophy."

Granted, no philosophies are actually do-able... But the mind wants some kind of map, some compass to follow ;^)

I feel inspired - instead of pushed and confused - by Hanne's suggestion that we love today what we would like to bring with us tomorrow...

What about you?

 

How come I meet so many people who are literally sick of being afraid to make the wrong choice in an age of the so called overwhelming abundance of choices, choices which seem to hold some sort of key to personal success and the thrive of passion and excellence? While at the same time they feel like they don’t matter, because this place is going to ruins anyhow (climate, economy, politics, …)?

Why is it that this notion of becoming better, this notion of creating a better world is actually making us feel worse and is keeping us from appreciating what is already there?

Isn’t what is ok today worth taking with you so tomorrow you will still have something to build on?

To tell you the truth, I’ve had it with “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

From now on I’ll stick to “Love today what you would like to bring with you tomorrow.”
