What's Missing?

The next time you have a spare five minutes, don’t turn on the TV, switch on the radio, pick up your magazine or even read a book... do something different, something you very rarely do – think about your life. Wipe your mind of all those things that currently occupy it, put all those niggling little preoccupations to one side, ignore all the chores calling your name and really give yourself over to pure thought. Just as you treat yourself to a good night out, while away an entire afternoon online or spend the evening watching cheesy soap operas, allow yourself this time to really contemplate your existence. Think about where you have come from, how far you have travelled, where you still want to go. But more than any of that think about whether you are happy. We very rarely allow ourselves the indulgence of introspection but until you reflect on where you are, how can you know where you want to be? So, do you have everything you need from life? I mean, really need.
