Welcome to my blog.
Here is a collection of everyday thoughts and observations from life that I have penned down for you to read and perhaps relate to as if they might be your own. Or even if its the first time you have come across these thoughts and never before thought of it this way, it might spur you on perhaps in a similar direction and lead on to other things.
I hope you enjoy reading these reflections.
When is it really enough? Excess bothers me. An excess of material goods in particular. To clothe oneself is a necessity, to dress well is elegance but to not have to repeat clothing frequently is excess. We are here for a definite period of time and in the words of Steve Jobs, 'death clears us old to make way for the new' Nothing is forever. Nothing is permanent. So why hoard. Why not give away the excess instead to those in much need. Sure, designs, colours, brands attract compliments but generosity overpowers them all. Embrace generosity. Distance yourself from materialism. Live frugally. Let those less fortunate than you enjoy some basic comforts too. You are more likely to be remembered for the difference you made to others lives than for what you wore when you were still around.
