Meaning is a story. It is our story of reality. It is not reality.
Fulfilment is a feeling. It is our sense of reality. It is not reality.
What then is reality?
Reality is a fleeting moment that passes before it is beholden. Reality is a mirage that changes on close observation. Reality is a label upon which we build our stories and feelings. Reality is a construct of understanding.
How do we reconcile reality with meaning and fulfilment?
3Cs – Choice, creativity, and community.
Our capacity to choose, create, and commune are directly proportional to our degree of understanding, beauty, and belonging.
