Following are some of my musings, and through the accompanying imagery hopefully they touch a cord by way of synergy.

Is Life Unfair?

Is Life Unfair?

Itā€™s common to hear ā€œthatā€™s not fair!ā€ or ā€œThis shouldnā€™t be happening!ā€ In fact, is it possible that we miss the most important lessons of our lives by doing so? Lessons that were somehow curated just for usā€¦to lead us up to the next level? Surely, if an event IS happening, it is useless to be saying it shouldnā€™t be. Eckhart Tolle once said, and this is perhaps a paraphrase, ā€œWe are not unhappy because of what is happening nowā€¦weā€¦

Everybody gets a trophy.

Everybody gets a trophy.

We all want children to be treated fairly, to get equal opportunities, and to have the chance to do and be anything they want to be. At first glance, it seems only fair. But we have to look at the outcomes of these actions, to make sure they are doing whatā€™s intendedā€¦and the truth is, when everybody gets a trophy, the person who worked the hardest feels cheated, and the one who knows that they are not as skilled asā€¦
