Keanu Reeves plays a character named Thomas Anderson, who works for a computer company. While he appears to live a “perfectly standard” life—he pays his taxes, helps the landlady take out the garbage—he can’t shake the feeling that something is missing.
A Life on Autopilot
Have you ever felt like your life was on autopilot? Like Thomas Anderson, have you ever had the feeling that sitting at your desk, doing your job, going home, sleeping, and repeating isn’t enough? That something is lacking in your life?
Self-awareness is a gift we all possess, but some of us haven’t yet fully tapped into it. You might feel you have more to give to the world, a hidden talent or calling inside of you. Yet, your daily routine holds you back, making you give up before even trying.
Of course, we still need to fulfill our responsibilities, especially if we have a family. Taking care of our children should always be our number one priority. But as long as we provide them with the basics—food, water, shelter, and clothing—it’s also our duty as parents to show them how to live a fulfilled life.
And the best way to show them how to live is by living it ourselves.
Our actions speak louder than words, and our words carry more than just thoughts or dreams. We can choose to show our children who we truly are.
