What do you want today?




Choices, choices, and more choices!

With so many choices around, what do we finally choose?

But Hey! Hold on! That's not the question I want to explore today.

I want to explore 'What kind of choices do we choose -  experience, consumption, or creation?'

I find world anchored around money. That's what makes us bury our differences and attempt to come together; that's also what makes us move far and away (in most cases away from near and dear ones) in search of money - aka livelihood.

I'm not saying money is bad! Money is a fact of life!

What we do with our money and what money does to us - those are things we can control!

Let me ask you a question. Will you want to be remembered even when you are not there? 
Maybe you want to be remembered by a large group of people, or just by friends, or just by your family members. But this want of being ´remembered through something/someone´ usually seems to be there in some form or the other.

What will you be remembered for? For what you consumed/experienced/created?

Chances are you will be remembered for what you created. That´s what resonates with me too!
 
The same holds true for the differences we make in our relationships. A son will probably remember his mother fondly because she would have created so many happy memories for him.

I want to live a fulfilled life.

Sustained fulfillment comes from creation!
