“The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.” (Henry Miller)

Stoicism is in vogue right now, and in some sense that’s not a bad thing as it leans towards positivity, resilience, and change, however much of the stoical motivations tend to be paper thin when you dust off the surface: “ Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one .” (Marcus Aurelius). Exactly. But wait a minute, what exactly is a “good man”? Or more exact, what does the word “good” actually mean? … if we don’t know the answer to that key question, then Ma

I’ve read a lot of books. When I was 29 years old I decided to be a writer and follow in the footsteps of my literary hero, Henry Miller. Like Miller, I decided not to write a single word for 2 years until I had read enough, until I had earned my stripes and done my “training”, and only then could I put pen to paper. And so, I read, and read, and read. From F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemmingway, Kerouac, Dostoevsky, Thomas Wolfe, Normal Mailer, D.H. Lawrence, Dickens, Bukowski etc.

Work

“You will eat the fruit of your labour.” (Psalm 128) I’ve always had a strong work ethic; if someone was willing to pay me to perform work then I always felt compelled to do the best I could. They trusted me, and would reward me, so I took the responsibility to fulfill my end of the bargain. This work ethic though is not universal. I’ve worked with many people who reluctantly participate in the workforce, doing as little as possible, or performing substandard work. So where d

Can you be Christian and work in the corporate world?

I have been pondering this question for some time now, and there have been two recent things that have made it more pertinent to try an answer. One, I have become much more spiritual and closer to God over the last 2 years, and the further we progress on our Christian journey the more we see the world as CS Lewis described, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” The second reason is,

Teleology

We live in an age where status (fame), wealth, and power are thought to be the high-watermark of what a meaningful life looks like. However, this view on life is categorically wrong. There is no substance to any of these objectives for the very fact they can all be gone in an instant. They add nothing to what it means to be human, and more importantly they provide little direction on how you should live your life (if anything, the exact opposite). In and of themselves there i

About Us

The word telos (or teleology) describes what the end goal or aim is for a being or entity. For human beings, when it comes to believing what our telos is we have two choices, either our final goal or aim is limited to our experience within time and space, or we believe that our telos is found in eternity. To believe your goal in life is not completed here on earth is a radical departure from the materialistic view (limiting our final goal in time and space). We can't help to see the world differently and engage with it accordingly.

At telosRising we fully subscribe to our telos being found in eternity with God.
