A Guiding Hand
We Live Superficial Lives, Longing For Depth By Andrew Machon
The text examines the tendency to live superficially and present only a fraction of who we truly are to the world. It acknowledges that busyness and pressure often lead to anxiety and a narrowed focus, causing us to operate on the surface and form shallow relationships. However, it suggests that our longing for something more is a reminder of our wholeness and innate power. By aligning with our longing and returning to our inner compass, we can orient ourselves towards personal growth, fulfillment, and becoming the person we are meant to be. The text encourages reflection on our deepest wishes and the potential for transformation that lies within. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing our vital co-ordinates and activating our innate source of guidance to navigate our developmental journey. By remembering and responding to this inner compass, we can make choices aligned with our life's purpose and experience a new vitality. The text urges us to pause, reflect, and recognize what is vital in our lives and work, as well as to consider the calling that draws us and what we might discover by following it. It reminds us that despite the pressures of everyday life, we can continually reorient ourselves towards what is deeply important and beyond superficiality. By taking the time to remember and reflect, we can tap into our inner source of guidance and live more wholesomely. The image of the Aurora Borealis and the reflection on the surface of the sea symbolize the hidden depths within us, longing for attention and expression to shape our lives. The text concludes with the hope that we recognize when we are living superficially, remember our inner compass, and continually reorient ourselves toward what we long for, experiencing the vitality of a fully lived life and cultivating meaningful relationships.
