‘Letting it Happen’ Acrylic on old cupboard door by Josh Langley
Don’t try too hard.
Trying too hard to achieve an outcome sometimes gets in the way of things.
Like life.
Like grace.
Trying to be the best puts you at exclusion of everyone else.
You lose.
You no longer connect with people because you’re trying to beat them.
We race each other to the grave.
Winning is ultimately about losing.
Losing our connection, our love, our story, our humanity.
When we don’t try to win, we can then try to understand and listen to each other.
We become whole and connected.
We learn.
We grow.
Our hearts become bigger and more open.
And we all win.

After failing high school twice and spending a ridiculous amount of time being unemployed, Josh went onto create a successful career as an award winning radio creative writer spanning 20 years. However it was his insatiable thirst to find the meaning to life and death and the insights he received that led to the publishing of 3 illustrated books about happiness and two nonfiction Bill Brysonesque travelogues of his adventures to find evidence of the afterlife.
Josh also runs Outside Creative, an advertising copywriting business with his partner Andy Macleod.
