No matter how good life gets I am not fulfilled
My life has come on massively over the past several months, I went from a part time job to a full time job. I am pretty sure, I am not as happy as I was before. I also started the magazine, which I am reasonably happy with so far. Yet, I am sure the best days were the ones I left behind. The days when I spent hours on the computer, played tennis into the afternoon and spent a lot of time with God. There is no denying it, I miss it. Squeezing God into that little space between work and bed is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I do have one tip though,in terms of squeezing God in, some people read their bible on the train, I choose to walk, which actually is quite a nice thing to do in the mornings. It allows time to pray and worship and fills you with a sense of peace before the day starts. Also it saves the rail fare, so win-win. I spend my life around people and for me to spend that much time with others, I need to have something give away. So when I get home from work, I always have a nap. The nap will usually last between 15 minutes and one hour, at first it seems like a terrible idea, when you wake up you are quite tired, it interrupts your day, bla bla bla, but actually give it two hours and you are fully awake, and full of beans again. I have found I am more effective at my job and generally happier for doing it. I wish I had more to give but that is all I've got at the moment.
As I walked to work I pondered all that I have been given, that I am a lucky man, and if you are reading this you are lucky too, because you have internet access and can read. You need to appreciate what you've been given, and be grateful for it. We are very lucky to live in the developed world, and whilst we are struggling under a mountain of debt, we go to the hospital if we are sick, we turn a tap on and get water we are truly blessed; Like it or not. So perhaps we don't need more stuff, maybe we just need to be more thankful.
