I Am Always Thinking and Thinking

My whole life I have always had some greater goal. I always wanted to give something great to the world. What exactly I was going to give changed over the years but I always had that passion and strong knowledge that I wanted to DO something I wanted to make an impact and a change.

It is only just recently that I have realized that not only does not everyone have that same drive, but it's actually pretty rare. Most people just want to.....live? I don't know how to explain it.

I think maybe one reason why so many people are depressed and feel caught in the rat race is because they haven't given themselves purpose. I have always had a purpose to work towards. Something that I fought for even in my darkest times, that kept me alive when I experienced only suffering from life and no joy at all. I knew I hadn't given what I was here to give yet.

I don't know this is me just rambling. It was just a sort of revelation to me. Most people are content to just live.

Small kind gestures go a long way.
1. Smile at stranger when your out about.
2. Pay for an old person meal or shopping.
3. Help an old lady with her cleaning or gardening.

To be of service, does not need you to save the world. You can with those small helpings of kindness. Then to love who you are, is also a gift that when others oberve you been authentic, it gives them the space to be themselves.

Also true success in life is been with all the mundane aspects, mundane takes up 98%. We balance our budget, work, shop, rest, exercise, travel. .

To much thinking can ware down your MOJO, that's why we use daily meditation, to have gaps from the mind compulsion, trying to figure out how to solve the world's issues. (Remember when one issue is solved another takes it's place)
