What a Wonderful World

(Above: Mars enters Gemini, Full Moon in Capricorn)

When the time comes, you are not going to be concerned with any of the following:

  • Your to-do list

  • The daily news

  • The latest online TV episode, podcast, etc.

  • What you own

  • How you look

  • The future

  • Your social status

  • The amount of followers you have (and likes, etc.)

  • What you have achieved, and the list goes on…

What will be of concern is whether you:

  • Loved, and let love in

  • Took the time to get to know people and their struggles

  • Gave for the purpose of giving

  • Honored what you were given

  • Acted on your dream, which means to live your truth

  • Made the world a little bit better than how you found it

  • Invested in the first list above and sacrificed this one

Primarily though, it’s whether you loved, which is to say, putting your personal wants and desires aside, opening your heart — and dealing with fear of doing so — to create meaningful, human connection for its own sake.

It’s not hard to do and each day we are given hundreds of opportunites, large and small, to love.

What a wonderful world. 🙏🏻
