Choosing our Values in our Busy World

Recently I raised the question of the presence of God and whether we realise what we are missing if we do not have a relationship with God.  But where is the middle ground? How do we enable people to realise that life has a gap if we do not have an opportunity to experience the supernatural. Br Luis Davalos has forwarded the link to another stimulating address.  He describes the presentation in the following way: 'When the dotcom bubble burst, the hotelier Chip Conley was looking for a business model based on happiness. In an old friendship with an employee and the wisdom of a Buddhist king, learned that success comes from what one values.'  I invite you to click on the link below and watch Chip speak about the search for happiness.  This may assist us in our efforts to evangelise.
