What Life Expects From Us

When we’re in the survival stage, we don’t know what we want from life.

When we’re in the belongingness and esteem stages, we ask, “What do I want from life?”

When we’re in the self-actualization/enlightenment stage, we ask “What does life want from me?” What are the tasks and tools I’ve been given to accomplish these tasks?

If the answers to the second and third questions align, we achieve harmony.

I am very blessed to have achieved harmony in my life, though I have not completed all the tasks I’ve been assigned yet. I wish for us all to achieve harmony at some point, if not this life then the next.
