What is the Purpose of Well... Anything?!

The football world cup happens once every 4 years. This is how I choose to calculate my life now, in how many world cups I have left. And my guess is 15. So what should I do in the meantime?

Ramana Maharshi chose to do NOTHING. And he had no regrets.

What about us?

What about me? How should I live the remainder of my finite life? Well I think one thing is for sure, I shouldn't be wasting my time and energy worrying about things that I can't control. And what are some things that I can't control? I guess everything that happens outside of myself right? I can control how much electricity I consume, but I can't control whether there will be a blackout today or not. We have been told to WORRY about certain things, and each country has their own things that people are taught to WORRY about. But worrying seems like such an inefficient way of living, especially when our time is so limited. Worrying makes me lose energy that I could be using for some kind of creative project. That must be why Mark Manson wrote the book called "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck."

What is awakening? Is there a correlation between 'awakening' and a decreased level of worry? My gut feeling says YES.

What is the purpose of being alive....

The only answer that my gut is telling me now is... TO BE AUTHENTIC.

And just writing this out makes me feel... at peace again. 

This life is limited... be authentic. 

Express yourself without worrying about what people think about you. 

Express yourself without worrying about your family's opinions (that can be challenging, but still doable). 

You are a flower so you might as well BLOOM.
