True Reward

True Reward

I guess it comes down to what you believe...
If you believe that this brief time we have here is the end game and what you acquire here is all that matters then winning at all cost will be your road map.
If you believe that there must be something else and what we do to others will eventually come back to us and in the end the material things around us will matter least then that will become your life’s goal.

Unfortunately I see it more today then ever that winning is all that matters, people can hurt other people as long as they get what they want and that is not healthy and certainly not a way to live our lives. If you have to lie or hurt others to obtain your goal then the goal simply is not worth it.

If you have to gather groups to back you up and give voice to anger or fear then you can not truly believe in what you are saying- if you cannot stand alone in your beliefs then they are probably shallow and most likely the wrong beliefs to begin with.

Do not seek comfort in groups that spread negativity or anger - seek comfort from within.
When you release the need to “ go along “ or the fear of what would happen if you did not “ go along” you can begin to think for yourself and free those heavy chains around you.

“ Your voices matter, your dreams matter, be the roses that grow in the concrete “
