Discovering a new species

What is a starfish baby sloth?  I'm glad you asked.  It doesn't exist.  This is why I love it, this is why I discovered it.  According to a YouTube video I watched, baby sloths love 2 things: a friend or teddy to hug at all times, and to be fed every few hours.  When you take the object being hugged away, the baby sloth spreads out its arms and legs like a starfish, waiting for the next thing to love.  So Starfish Baby Sloth is a creature that is always ready for something new to love.  Because life is about taking the things you love and making them into more things that you love.

A lot of people get caught up in the what.

What do I have?
What does it mean?
What can I get from this?
What is this doing for me?
What can I do now?
What is going on?

And so easily we forget about the WHY.

WHY am I doing everything that I do?

It's an important question that we are quick to answer with excuses instead of truths.  The truth is that we all want to be happy.  We all want to feel loved.  We all want a friend around to hug us and a hand to feed us.  And we are constantly reaching for it without realizing what we settle for grabbing.

Attention
Money
Recognition
Pride

These things aren't fulfillment and they aren't love.  Living your life and loving your life and being content requires fulfillment and love in vast quantities.  And they are available in unlimited and renewable quantities.  And if we create the space, love and fulfillment will fill it.

Be like a sloth and rest a little while.  Let go of whatever excuse that you're hugging and open up to something more that you might want to grab hold of.  

I'm rambling and I'm not sorry about it.

But I think I got my point across.  This baby sloth is going to go hug a pillow or two.
