In Pursuit Of Something
Everyone has his various pursuits in life [for whatever reason OR motivation]. In truth and in fact, WHAT and WHEN you wake up and gravitate towards can influence the trajectory of your life. Some people strive for SUCCESS. And that SUCCESS may be in the form of status for their family and friends to marvel over, which by human nature is pretty normal. That stuff about us In Pursuit Of Something๐๐๐YES, some may pursue something that makes them HAPPY while others may merely seek out a career and existence that they consider meaningful. YES, these three pursuits can intertwine and even work together as driving forces. From a personal perspective, though, I always believed, with both my feet firmly on the ground, that WHATEVER your core pursuit is has a major impact on your life and HOW it plays out. At times, our pursuits may be seemingly mundane, like, should we live within the big city, OR at the suburbs OR at the countryside? BTW, when it boils down to these choices, generally, people hardly choose suburbia. Instead, they mostly just fall into it. As some sort of checklist agenda, they might draw a fence and a 45-minute commute to the city๐๐๐
Perhaps, that desire is still 'baked' in that idea down deep. And WHEN we call our lives as generally HAPPY, ironically some of us end up spending most waking moments of it dealing with struggles, pain, annoyances, name it, and that includes a general sense that things are NOT quite as good as we'd like them for them to be. Problem is, some of us end up taking that butcher-knife approach to the definition of life๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
And everything starts with that BIG LIFE definition, comprised of our hopes, dreams, the things we'll be doing once we finish our current task and the people we think we'll be once be finally rich, beautiful, famous OR otherwise able to escape from our current situation. WHEREAS that definition of SMALL LIFE, comprised of the nearly infinite number of day-to-day moments that are often either filled with endless discomforts OR completely missed through our absorption in thoughts about the past, future, WHAT we'd rather be doing, and literally anything else besides the experience that's sitting in front of us๐ง๐ง๐ง
Our takeaway: Almost all of us to strive to get from life to life. BUT here comes those multifarious DISTRACTIONS. Food, YouTube, TikTok, Netflix, name it. And it's true, sure enough, they work, making us laugh, cry, feel less, feel more and in general, allow us to escape from the hum-drum and discomfort of our day-to-day lives. BUT let us NOT miss the opportunities to be IN PURSUIT of things that are meaningful enough in our life, dude๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
