Drive-Thru

The voids and hunger pains in our lives push us to seek our path, fulfill our purpose, reach our potential, and follow the plan. #perspective

I tweeted (@DrLaJoi) the aforementioned after watching the movie, "The Adjustment Bureau." *Spoiler Alert* Matt Damon's character finds what he is looking for by not going along with the status quo. When he was lead by his hunger pains to find the love he wanted, his career was pushed forward but he was still unfulfilled. Many of us can relate to that. It's like when we are driving around aimlessly looking for what can quickly satisfy our craving, and we think perhaps our favorite fast food joint will do. But, when we get it, the fries are greasier than we remember and the burger or taco wasn't as good as you recalled when you were craving it. Damon's unsatiated hunger led him to continue his search which propelled him to finding that which was missing and changed not only his life but all of those connectd to him. 

There are aspects of our lives which we might still be unsatiated. 
This entry is one of reconcilliation with our past and hope for our future. Let's just start with the premise that the people of our past gave us 
the best they could with what they knew and had.Sometimes, as we age, 
we might feel like "if Mom were only more...." or "if Uncle hadn't..." 

Perhaps if we don't try and satiate the hunger for our healing with fast, junk food, we might keep driving down the road of life and get what will truly satiate us. What we get, might even satiate the passenger who is going along our life's journey with us.  So don't settle into the routine of fake food. Let those hunger pains experienced early in life serve a purpose #LetYourHungerDriveYou
