Only when you fully surrender yourself
to what the universe is trying to offer you
will you find what you were really searching for
this whole time.
It is not in your new car
or handbag
or in shiny diamond rings
or mortgages that tie you to white picket fences.
They say the devil’s greatest trick was convincing us he doesn’t exist and I
can’t help
but agree
He takes the form of insatiable greed
that brings our planet to its knees and our souls
to a state of constant unrest
Twitching for that next hit of online dopamine
Itching for that next piece of material ‘gain’ that will never keep us warm like the arms
and heart
of another.
We isolate ourselves in our small screens
trying to find connection where there is only
comparison
We don’t see the lives around us dying for the things we all truly crave –
acceptance
love
contentment
Having enough by having
…enough
just to get us by.
So look up to the sky
but don’t pray
Instead try to find the voice inside you
that roars defiance at the shackles
you have placed on your soul
Bound by iron forged in the ravenous fires of consumerism
Tyler Durden got it right
when he said that you are not the clothes you wear or the car you drive.
Get out of the drivers seat
You are going
the wrong
way.
