I watched the movie "Joe Versus the Volcano" this past weekend. I own the movie, and have watched it a handful of times over the past couple of years. I was once again inspired. The movie touches on the uncomfortable topic of "selling your soul to money in exchange for 'apparent' security". Basically, the world is full of people who are afraid to pursue their dreams because they are unwilling to leave their security zones.



The irony is that death is unavoidable, and even money can't help us in every situation. How many people - regardless of economic status - die early from cancer, heart attacks, or accidents? Too many people spend the best years and hours of their fleeting lives self-enslaved to a miserable job because they are afraid to lose the security of the paycheck or the familiarity.

It makes me wonder, what would the world look like if everyone did what they truly enjoy doing?

Think about this. What if all people were immortal - they couldn't die and time was irrelevant? What would these immortal, eternal people do with their time? No retirement to save for. No worries. No hurries. What would you do with your time?

Ok, I can hear the voice saying, "But we're not immortal. So, the thought is unrealistic." That is both right and wrong. We don't have forever in these earthly bodies, but we do have forever in our spiritual bodies.

Don't be afraid to take risks or change. The worst thing that can happen to a person is not death; we all have to face the volcano sooner or later. The worst thing is to be alive, but uninspired and miserable. We have to find ways to really live.
