LIFE AND THE LAW - YOUR FINEST LIFE!

LIVING YOUR FINEST LIFE

There can be no finer work of art than a life well lived.

That is the one creation that we all uniquely must do; and to live a life which is the creation of others, and not our own selves, is the greatest abandonment of our purpose that can be imagined.

Our purpose in this Earth is to add our very own unique notes to the song of Being; but to do so in such a way as to enhance harmony rather than detract from it.

"No finer work of art than a life well lived."

Those words come from a great writer and poet - Darrell Gudmundson. I know him well, but not as well as I would like to; some aspects of him elude me completely. Getting to know that poet, and introducing him to the world at large, might be one tiny part of my life's work. There are many other parts.

Most of the life we live is the creation of others, not ourselves. We allow our life to be formed by our parents. by our employers, by our families, our friends. Some of us leave it at that, so that almost none of our art is drawn out of our own soul.

We are driven by a sense of need, to conform ourselves to the world we inhabit.

We crave love, security, approval, and to get it we do all the things we think people expect of us. That is how we fit in, and submerge our brilliance in a sea of mediocrity and sameness.

Jesus, when he was in the earth, referred to such people as "dead". In a sense, that is true, because people who have no driving force of their own, simply passively responsive to their world, are not truly alive. Being alive means making a difference, adding something to the world that is truly your own contribution.
