You know, I look back at all these posts and I sound like a broken record player. I guess, each of us just circles our own wounds, tracing the length with our tongues– constantly talking around the same thing.
How I’m not sick of regurgitating the same topics is a mystery to me?
But I guess hurt people hurt… and confused people teach.
Anyways, I want to talk about “The Path.” It’s far more simple than I thought it was but there is a barrier to entry.
For whatever reason, I finally reached a point in my life where it’s about the work. I want to work and I want to do good work.
This might not sound all that revolutionary, but hear me out. The more I dive in, the more engaged I become, the more my mind focuses on everything in front of me, and I find myself fulfilled. The alternative to this– was me constantly comparing myself to others, wanting cheap success (fame and fortune) and being followed closely by an inescapable misery.
The alternative was being possessed by restless imagination, which serves to drive you completely insane running bullshit simulatory dreams on what life should be, robbing the present of meaning and fulfillment.
Play the game of fantasy and you’ll forever be disconnected.
But you know what, in the last year my inescapable shadow has lightened. I might still be a “difficult” person, but I suffer FAR LESS from this false world and I attribute that to the work.
The answer is not to desire nothing, but desire the path you are already on. Don’t wish for changing lanes, wish to drive this out.
It isn’t hokey, it’s fulfilling.
Our path is the only path. There is nothing else, nothing other than where we are and who we are.
Go all in and what’s before you, and you will find yourself living a far greater life.
