The power to reflect

Readers,

How often do we utilise our power to reflect?

Too many of us are too busy surviving day to day without ever taking time out to actually ponder
upon life's most important questions.

Where did we come from?
What happens to us after we die?
Are we going to be held accountable for our actions?
How are we supposed to know how to live our lives?
How are we supposed to know if we are living successful lives?
What is the barometer for success and failure?
How do I even know that my barometer for success and failure is correct?
Is everyone free to make their own barometer for success and failure?
What if I have thought about these things and come up with the "wrong " answers?
What about if I haven't even bothered to think about them and the whole point of my existence
was to reflect on them?

Life is very short and very important. We only get to live once so it's imperative to do it right! If we get it wrong, we have to live with the consequences forever thereafter.

Be thankful for the opportunity to reflect and utilise this most important gift that has been
bestowed upon us.

Remember that there are multiple
religions with multiple sects within each religion. It may not be
possible to study them all. However it ought to be the goal of every seeker of truth to explore the
world religions with as an open mind as possible in the hope of finding a way of life that
brings about peace, hope, tranquility and the confidence to be able to defend your beliefs if and when
we are questioned and/or challenged about them by the creator who bestowed upon us the
power to reflect.
