LAST month in this column I was thinking about the place of quietness and reflection in our lives. This month as we approach the period of Lent I thought it would be valuable to start thinking about the things that really matter in our lives.
Too often we make our lives overcomplicated until our choices narrow and we are forced to understand that what we say to others and ourselves about what we require to live is not nearly the same as what we need in order to live.
Learning to be more appreciative of the basic things for living can change the way we function in relation to the world around us. And make us more grateful people. So what are our basic needs for living a fulfilled life rather than our list of requirements?
