Reality check

At some point in our journey, we all encounter a reality check. Your life, provision, source, and substance do not come from the world you perceive through your five senses.

For some, it’s a quiet nudge or a niggling question: ‘Surely there’s more to life than this?’

For others, it comes as a full-blown, life-altering insight that stops them in their tracks. However this reality check arrives, we each respond differently. Our response determines the direction, intensity, and flavor of our lives from that point onward.

Some may brush it away with a ‘so what?’ and continue with the status quo. Others come to a ‘negotiated settlement’ or truce with this new insight, incorporating some religion, spirituality, or philosophy into their lives.

Some go much further, refocusing their lives to explore the meaning and implications of this reality check. They embark on a journey back to God, a journey that may require them to give up everything they’ve known in the quest to gain the ultimate prize.
