Desire is a contract that you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.

These days I have been hooked into the World History Videos.
It is hard for me to fathom the fact that no-one had hot shower until 50 years ago.
The electricity.
The entertainment.
Technology, the amenities, modern medicine, and the infrastructure we have today are mere fragments of imaginations for the ones who lived 100 years ago.
Someone said it right, “We are living like Kings.”
Yet.
We are never objectively happy.
Subjectively worse.
To top it off, the rampant social media; the flex culture in tandem bringing in the worst of us. Nakedly. Ignorantly. Unknowingly.
You can’t catch any waves siting on the shore. Always put yourself in the water.

I was having a conversation with my Twin brother regarding the need of urgency in our lives.
I have been Pro-Urgent for a very long time.
I’m of an opinion that
Urgency invites change, demands commitment and hardship
Change invites Opportunities, demands consistency and discipline.
Opportunities invites responsibilities, makes like meaningful, purposeful and fruitful.
Wisdom demands what Bloom calls a ‘Surfer Mentality’
Meaning.
When a surfer rides a wave, they savor the present, knowing all too well that it won’t last forever. They fully immerse themselves in the experience, embracing each moment with the wisdom that more waves will follow.
