The Uptown Life

celebrating healthy active lifestyle

Once upon a time

Most of the time, we remember the full details not by the facts, but why the stories. Here’s a storyteller, Kindra Hall who has the same excitement like Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.

Your life. This is your story.  What are you telling people?

When money isn’t what truly drives us

Source: TEDtalk

There’s a whole new level of why we do the things we do.

We need to work to pay bills. We see our parents and grand parents work all their lives to earn for the family. Money seems to be the drive, or used to be.

Food doesn’t appear on the table just like that, neither does love blossom in one day.

However more hours doesn’t mean productivity and money doesn’t mean you’ll do better.

To have a great life, understanding our existence in this world, and acknowledging that we are indeed unique and doing that persistently in the service of something larger than yourself.

Is your existence working for more than 10 hours a day, with you loathing your job but too scared to quit because you need to survive at the end of the month?

Or are you a student going on that path?

Or a retiree who has gone that path 20 years ago and is still wondering how that happened?

Question is: Are you happy now? What is it that you’re looking for? Don’t be surprise if it comes from within…
