Interesting title. You know how you meet someone or maybe just talking to someone, and at the same time though, you’re checking them out. Call it Karma, just looking at them in profile; what you’re doing is trying to see who they are, what are they really about, what drives them. Some of us are better at doing that then others are, right?
Most of us get bored if we’re not doing something. Like “doing” represents meaning. Not many of us take the time to look within, as we do to others. Like I am extraverted, yet when by myself, I’m calm, will read a book, sit on a bench overlooking a valley among mountains, and be at peace. Yet that is not enough. In those moments that represent “peace”, whenever you are “there”, what are you feeling, what doubts do you have, where do you want to go, what do you need to develop or get stronger at? What do you want?
This is where you want to be. Inside of you, and just by taking these moments to be with yourself you find your center. It just takes a few minutes at a time if you will. Think how important you can make your life? In a world, circling a sun, with millions of stars in one galaxy, in a universe of billions, yes billions of galaxies, you are alive and represent meaning. Be curious always of your world, and especially about you. (image created in AI) (click on title to view/add comment)
