Sometimes I wonder why I was put on this earth. Sometimes. Other times I just know, or at least I think I know. I had a Zen moment this past weekend while doing some yard work. Think Zen-Mondo. Any how I realized that this is a question that we don't answer as it must answer itself. So that being said, the answer seems to have appeared though I believe all things are subject to change. Let me simplify the answer. I feel or think or know even, that the reoccurring theme in my life is to help others, give back a bit. Perhaps knowing this I should find a vocation in which I can put that to use? There are deeper things afoot here.
At the end of the day I have two ideas about my own life. One is the thought of self expression, travel, and adventure. The other is about selflessness, fatherhood, and friendship. There is a common connector that goes along for the ride. Simplicity.
So what do I take away from this? How do I piece this all together? Balance, simple balance. Live a simple life full of expression, always be the best friend you can be to all you encounter. Make everyday an adventure as you travel through life. The greatest selfless act? Be more than a father or dad, be a friend, a guide, a foundation...be there.
“Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the sleeping humanity in one's heart.” -Sri Sathya Sai Baba
