Hi, guys, I have been thinking, what is the point of living. And here is my answer: Happiness and Kindness. Think of two animals. One predator and one prey. I am thinking of a bear and a deer. What is the deer's point in life? Eat, reproduce, hide from bears, sleep, repeat. What is the bear's job? Kill the deer, eat, reproduce, sleep, repeat. What is our point? Love. Imagine how boring your life would be as an animal. Right now, I want you to do some tasks for me.
1. Think of your happiest memory. Just a simple one. Like, someone told you a really funny joke. Or a hug from a loved one who is no longer with us.
2. Think of the smells that used to surround you when you were little. Was it snickerdoodles in the oven? Playing with Playdoh?
3. What is something really simple that you are looking forward to? Is is dinner? Bedtime? I have a bit of dialogue from my favorite T.V. show that I love:
"Everyone, when you got on this bus what where were you going and what were you going to do?"
"Nothing much we were just going to go home and cook some pork chops, nothing fancy."
"I was going to go visit my son who's wife just had a baby."
" I was going to bed after a long hard day."
"I was going to go and read a book until bed."
"Good. No all of you, hold on to that, pork chops, new grandchild, bed, books. Hold on to all of those simple things. I will get you all there."
Life is the greatest miracle of all. Live it to the fullest.
