A comfortable life is blah.

When everything is taken care of for you, you don’t even realize that there were problems needed to be fixed.

Automated technology tries to do it all for us. And when it doesn’t, there will be an uproarious crowd ready to declare war.

If you have a itch and there is always someone to scratch it for you, can you even say you had an itch?

Maybe they scratched it for you even before you knew there was an itch.

What if that is actually a disservice?

What if that itch is there to tell you something?

What would it mean to see that itch and scratch it yourself?

As a child, we look to our parents for reassurance. A simple nod or indication that we are on the right path.

If we are lucky, they will say that we did well and they are proud of us.

However, “experts” say if raised “correctly” by instilling internal drive, children won’t need a carrot to work towards their goals. That a healthy child-parent relationship means that the child does not need the parent’s approval.

Perhaps as adults, we don’t need approval but the reassurance from our parents is never unwelcome. We are all children seeking our way home. A simple nod or indication that we are on the right path would be that little something extra that ushers us along our path.

And absent of that, a community of like-minded people can offer similar reassurance, energetically holding space and giving that simple nod as needed.
