Live a Life Worth Living

“This has been my life; I found it worth living.” – Bertrand Russell

I believe the measure of a successful life is being able, like Russell, to look back and say it was worth living.

What does that look like? For me I hear the words of a song most famously sung by Mahalia Jackson:

If I can help somebody, as I pass along,

If I can cheer somebody, with a word or song,

If I can show somebody, he is travelling wrong,

Then my living shall not be in vain.

…

If I can do my duty, as good folk ought,

If I can bring back beauty, to a world up wrought,

If I can spread love's message, as the Master taught,

Then my living shall not be in vain.

…

If I can help somebody, as I pass along,

Then my living shall not be in vain;

(from “My Living Shall Not Be in Vain”)

How to Stay Present and Awake

Staying awake comes not from willpower but from a wholehearted surrender to the moment—as it is. If we can be present, we will experience what most of us mean by God…”
—Richard Rohr

Stay present. Stay awake. Stay in the moment. This, to me, appears to be a universal principle that crosses traditions and the intellectual constructs we call theology.

The writer of Ephesians 5:14 declares, “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” But how do we do this? How do we come into this light? How do we experience God?

Taken in the context of both this passage and in the context of the works attributed to Paul, the answer is to stay rooted and grounded in love in at all times. Further, there are some traps we want to avoid….

Selfish ambition and greed, lust separated from love, anger, bitterness, fear, resentment, jealousy… all of these pathways lure us into the darkness by making false promises that will never be fulfilled.

The answer to how we stay awake is to keep our hearts and minds, our words and deeds centered in love.

What Do You Love? Do That!

“Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there’s love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.” – Ella Fitzgerald

Where do you fill most fulfilled? Where do you feel the most inspired? What makes you come alive? What are you passionate about? What brings you joy? What do you love?

Even if we should all live to be one hundred years old, our lives are very short. However our lives will feel like drudgery if we are waking up every day to do something we really can’t stand, or worse something you’re completely indifferent about.

If a person really can’t stand something, they will charge it. If a person is indifferent, they might live “alright” and “so, so” forever. Don’t be indifferent.

Figure out what inspires you, and go and do that. If you can’t make a living of it, make it a hobby. At least then, your work will be paying for your passion.

Do what you love.

Enjoy Your Life Including Your Work

“I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live; moreover, it is God's gift that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil.” -Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

Many years ago, back when I was in school, I worked food service. From time to time I worked the salad bar. Let me tell you, it was some work.

One of my co-workers always did her job. She wasn’t lazy. But she had to be the most lifeless joyless person that I’ve ever worked with- at least until closing time when she finally perked up and worked at superhuman speed to get out early.

Be it in the home, out of the home, or remote from home, we spend a lot of our adult lifetimes working. Being joyless and lifeless is no way to go through that time. We spend too much time working not to enjoy it.

So love your family. Love your friends. Love your neighbors. Love your food and drink. When working, do it will all your might and love it too either for itself or because of what it allows you to do.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
