“One great question underlies our experience, whether we think about it consciously or not: what is the purpose of life? From the moment of birth, every human being wants happiness and does not want suffering. Neither social conditioning nor education nor ideology affects this. From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment. Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness.”
~ The Dalai Lama
Every single one of us is a unique individual with unique desires and secret dreams. Yet most of us make decisions about what to do with our lives based on what others expect of us, what will make others happy, or what we think will bring us the most security. None of which is the path to greatest fulfillment.
The very fact that you are alive, that your heart is beating without your permission, should be enough to make it clear that you have a purpose and deserve to be happy. But only you can know what will make you truly happy and content, my friend. You owe it to yourself and to others as well to be moving in that direction.
So, my friend, what would you LOVE? There’s no better time than now to dust off your dreams.
