WE is the new me
2010 can be your richest and most fulfilled year ever! Here we tell you how.
Everything that lives, lives not alone, nor for itself. William Blake (1757-1827), English poet, painter, and printmaker It is a paradox that the more you seek happiness for yourself, the more dissatisfied you get. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue... as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself, said the Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, Viktor Emil Frankl (1905-1997). Everybody has a built-in longing for fellowship with the Creator and with other people. We are not created for living for ourselves, but for him who created us. The future does not belong to those who live for themselves (1). If we circle around our own needs we get smaller and more limited. Selfishness easily becomes a clot in our life stream. Eugene H. Peterson, the author of The Message, a modern translation of the Bible, puts it like this: If I make myself the center and gather the world into myself, arranging life around me for my own convenience, I become smaller, not larger. I don’t grow; I diminish. There’s no completion in it, and there’s no wholeness in it.
Surrendering to our Creator makes us free. The meaning and fulfillment in life is found in serving God by serving people. Despite the financial crisis, this can be your richest year ever. The me, myself and I- era is over. This is the we-era! On this site we want to focus on the good WE-life: Knowing God, finding the one, happy family and life-giving communities. Apple's software package is called iLife. Our package is called WeLife. |
