In Relevance We Find Self-Worth

I am of the opinion that within 10 years, with competent guidance, we can come to master any art we set our heart and minds to, be it the art of mathematics, music, businesses, architecture, communication, living or relationships.

But what is it we want?

And I would like to offer, that what we most desire is relevance.

Because that which is relevant is purpose and meaning filled, is valuable and has worth and is acknowledged as such.

So why not relevance itself.

Relationship, business, life, even evolutionary relevance - total relevance.

And in choosing and consistently working towards our own relevance a new flow of logic and therefore behaviour begins to open, and a trickle becomes a stream, a stream a river and a river a torrent.

It's amazing. Take a ordinary or extraordinary objective and it will take 10 years to master and a lifetime to develop and sustain.

And with every choice there is sacrifice, regardless. Read a book and you choose not to read any other book, while reading that one. But you also choose not to do anything else while reading the book. Behind every choice lies an infinity of sacrifices, regardless of the choice you make.

So in choosing relevance we sacrifice irrelevance and all that sustains it.

And the question of 'how' appears so overwhelming that within minutes or even seconds, we have dismissed the question of our own relevance, as being irrelevant, and there we stay. Trapped in our ordinary objectives, which still we never seem to master.

Why?
