The other day I watched the movie The Weatherman in which Nicholas Cage plays David Spritz a TV weatherman who thinks that his career is not fulfilling and has problems at the home front. The moral of the movie as Dave admits to himself is that one must learn to accept and be happy with his life whatever it is. However the outcome.
We all have our desired lives or outcomes of our lives based on what we imagine is ideal, further based on what our parents have implanted in our minds, based on what society has defined as success and sometimes based on imaginary yardsticks that we impose on ourselves.
At some point in our lives, everybody is confronted with the reality that “we are who we are” at that point in time. I want to believe that this is the “Eureka “moment from whence we can now proceed to live in peace with who we are. Some geography-biased philosophers call this moment “finding” oneself. Others more positive say that “you have found your purpose”, the reason for your being, your rasion d’être, etc.
So are you still searching or have you found the reason you are here? Do you accept the canvas of your life that the Maker has painted? Are you satisfied that it is as it should be?
If not, happy searching!
