Why are we here? What end goal are we striving towards? What's our purpose?
I'm confident we all spend time considering these questions, at some point or another. Regardless if we never find the answers, we all seek reasons for the world around us. I know I do, constantly.
Don't get the wrong impression, I don't spend every waking moment contemplating life's greater mysteries, I'm too busy keeping pace. You know, that infinitely long stretch of unpaved roads pointing towards the horizon we individually and collectively sprint towards. Our arms raised high in excitement, hoping to meet perfection, signaling our journeys completion. We all strive towards perfection, some by choice while others fall victim to indecision.
Amidst the scramble on paved concrete jungles, some will make time for solitude, moments used to remove the veil of creature comforts and disconnect from the net, only to find myself within myself, with a strong appetite for conversation. Quietly we engage...discussing activities, meetings and thoughts from the day, identifying indecision, procrastination, and self-doubt.
After assessing each situation, desire informs the spirit about the need for change. Hope reinforces the importance of direction, careful yet critical thinking, mapping the path towards the horizon. Courage stands, places his right hand over his heart and begins to pledge his allegiance to the cause, promising never to abandon the spirit.
Fear rudely interrupts..... but is quickly expelled by love.
Records are maintained by the soul, stored within walls of an endless hall, countless stories memorized and sometimes expressed by the eyes, yes we remember every word. How else can we grow?... how else do we learn from our mistakes, steadily climbing the ladder while increasing our risk.
