One Life, Live It!

There are many who will tell you how to live your life but who’s right?  The ‘global wellness market’ is said to be valued at over $4.75 trillion and growing at more than 6% a year.  It is a big business with therapists and ‘experts’ galore waiting to take people’s money and time to deal with their insecurities, hopes and dreams.  Entertainment channels massage our desires and advertisers prey on our egos as we fall victim to the exploitation of others.  Often the young want to be older whilst  the old want to be younger; the employed want to retire, the retired wish they still had purpose in work; those in the shade want sun, those in the sun want shade.  What about you now?  Do you long to be beside the sea for a long relaxing holiday that drifts into retirement or are you already living the life you dream of?

‘If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow?
I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes
'Cause this time's only borrowed
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right’ – James Morrison
