You Have One Life To Live. Who’s will it be?

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?

Bob Marley

Are you living your life? Are we living life for someone else?

My Life, Are you sure?

Where about to go on a voyage. Before we go, I warn you this might change your life.

Do you still want to go?

As you drift into old age, you seem to do more thinking. At this point in life, you have the time. I hope you look back on your life without too much regret.

Good or bad. Happy or sad. No changing it, but you wonder. Who am I, and how did I wind up here.

You’re born a blank slate with an empty head and a mass of flesh and bones. One of the most helpless creatures on the planet.

From the moment we take our first breath, we’re dependent on someone for all our needs. We have not developed wants yet, that I remember.

Because of these essential needs, our development starts to take shape.

You Depend On Others

We can’t help it. Born so helpless, we need someone to care for us. We will require years of teaching and learning before we do anything for ourselves.
