Dear humour,
I like your username. I wonder what lead you to chose it.
I feel sad about all the wasted years of my life. I wish I could go back in time and change many things.
I don’t think purpose has much to do with the stuff you do not when YOU are Purpose
We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about
People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning (purpose) for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. ― Joseph Campbell
Believe yourself to be Purpose and everything you engage with will be a experience of being alive.
Life in the moment is as the should be. Seeking purpose outside oneself is like trying to grasp air with your hands. You are where you should in order to take the next step. Everything experienced is never wasted time.
As you proceed through life, following your own path, birds will shit on you. Don’t bother to brush it off.
Getting a comedic view of your situation gives you spiritual distance.
Having a sense of humor saves you.” ― Joseph Campbell
