Cooperation

I recently watched a talk show that asked the age old question-what are we doing here?  Loaded, I know.  I was really kind of surprised at my reaction and the way I was able to answer the questions asked.  The main one being "who is it that I am and what am I doing?"...really narrows it down, I know.
 
We are here so that we can grow into the full person we were meant to be.  Most of us are missing that point.  We're all too busy competing in a dog eat dog world, collecting our success and displaying them on the mantle for all to see.  We hoard our talents out of fear someone else might win or get more than we do if we share.  We're nuts.

It's supposed to be about cooperation. We should be fine tuning our talents and sharing them with the world with the idea that we just might help another along their journey.  Taking only what we need, and giving all that we can.  Smelling the roses along the way.

So Kat you ditching all your stuff and going on a spiritual quest? No, far from it.  I do however have a renewed outlook.  I feel more motivated to help my fellow man with my own talents, regardless of the return in my investment.  After all, for me it's all about seeing those eyes light up when I help someone or somehow make their day.  It gives me more spring in my step, makes me in turn smile.  My paycheck pays the bills, but it can't give me that feeling.
