Are you living your life intelligently?
Well, forget about the questioner. Do not judge him. Just read, sieve the chaff from the wheat and if possible, make a lemonade from his lemon.
What constitute intelligent living?
Let us reason together. We are going to look at two lives.
The first group are people who live like matter.
They live like any other objects that have mass and occupy space. These categories of people are those that we called “Living to Exist”.
They go through life daily to fulfil needs. Their resources, energy and time are spent on pursuing needs. They are the Needy.
On the other hand, we have the second group who are referred to as “Living to Exit”. They become Needed by lives that ‘Live to Exist’.
These second categories are known as Needed because their exit in their space create vacuum.
How do we know if we are the Needy or Needed?
The Needy are individuals who have centred their living around tangibility. They are attached to their space so much that they seek more of what they can see, touch, smell or even taste.
On the contrary, the Needed have their living centred around intangibility. The needed create experience of peace, love, tranquility and calmness.
Both lives: The Needy and the Needed originated from the same cause but produced different effects.
Guess the cause. Thought is the cause.
The good thing is that we are at liberty to choose our thoughts. We can choose to be Needy or Needed.
You will succeed!
