What is the point of life if not to create as many experiences as possible?
We are tied to the idea that we want to live forever while neglecting the power of living a life full of flavor.
When we branch out of our comfort zones and we create a new dimension to our being, we create a brighter world for everyone else as well… the focus for me, for so long, has been on the cutthroat accumulation of finances.. and that part is something that I wrestled with because it is not a worthy goal on its own. The seeking of purpose has given me such greater clarity that I could have ever anticipated… I don’t regret the path that I took because it was that path that led me to where I am today…
I can only control where I walk today… and direct myself in the direction I wish to walk tomorrow.
We’re all lost when the goal is the accumulation of finances.. the greatest thing we can find is our purpose… because when we find it, we stop at nothing to achieve it.. we move in the direction while we are sleeping… dreaming of ways to move forward with our goals… feeling excitement and energy fill each room we walk into because we know that it is exactly where we are supposed to be.
This is strange and foreign to me still. It is something that I still don’t fully understand.. and I don’t even know if it is something that will wear off in time like someone watching The Secret for the first time.. lol. Its something more than that for me.. and I think that’s why I have the faith that this has some staying power… I am building, in my mind, a universe that I wish to see.. the money is but one small aspect of the puzzle, and I am not limited by any lack of it in my thoughts… the path unfolds naturally in front of me.. like the metaphor of a car driving down a curvy, fog covered road… having the faith that the road in front of me will reveal itself in time.
It’s just that this time, I came around a bend and the fog opened up for a moment.. and I could see way off into the future… I caught a glimpse of a larger end-game.
It was something that I wasn’t expecting and it is something that I am continually wanting to investigate… searching under new stones each day.. another clue is found.. another hint is revealed to me.. it is serendipitous.. and, just like a religious nut, all I want to do is share how I got here with the people that might be struggling in their own lives.. the frustrating part for me is that I don’t think that I have a clear and concise answer… it isn’t as simple a matter as showing the path that I followed and to recommend the same path… it isn’t even about revealing the methods behind my actions.. my morning rituals.. or the evening thoughts and affirmations that I rehearse…. but I do think that it has something to do with emulating those that you wish to become like… to emulate them as closely as possible in their words and actions.. and to fill in the gaps with your own intuition… maybe that will help.
