Predicting Zen

Most of us want to be successful in life because that is what matters in western society. People look at someone and yardsticks are mentally brought out to mentally measure how high in the social ladder they have climbed. The higher on the ladder, the more we admire them for their achievements. Those of us who fail to get off the bottom rung are left looking up. Unhappy with our progress and discouraged from even trying because they believe that it is a race. Life is not a race, and we all meet the same end - even at the top. The question is do you want to see the view that those at the top have seen before you go? If the answer is 'yes' then you still have time to catch that view. Health, wealth and social status. Things that people often want in life always boil down to a few things. Health, wealth and social status. Health and wealth often go hand in hand.

Savoring the journey and the finish. One day I'd like to give the race weekend a shot myself.
