In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we've ever come across.
In this speech David Wallace brings our attention to how most of us go through our lives on auto pilot, never really choosing our thoughts about our every day existence. He points out how we very rarely have awareness of what and who are around us. We push our way through the chaos and busy-ness of life without a moment of awareness of the world we are participating in.
This speech follows on from my previous Posts which discussed how our subconscious mind runs our life on auto pilot for about 95% of the time. We can however, choose a different way.
