I recognize the stuff I talk about goes deep. After all, the whole point of this blog is to truly become happier by focusing on the substance in our lives - things that matter - rather than the style.
But I want to remind you, and me, that I have nothing against worldly things, nothing against money, cars, fashion, toys. Nothing at all against the external world.
In fact, I think the world is a playground and we should all go out and play to our fullest.
We should laugh at silly stuff, appreciate the little things, be spontaneous, joke around, and have a blast. If you've understood anything different from my previous posts, perhaps I haven't been as clear as I could've been. Nothing I talk about has anything to do with giving up the fun in your life.
It has everything to do with the opposite! Filling your life with more fun, joy, excitement, and love. That's what this blog is about! It's about letting go of the part of us that serves no purpose. The part of us that lives in the incessant chatter of the mind. That has run my life since the day I was born, and I have a feeling it has run most of, if not all of your life as well.
Let's not let that part of us run our lives anymore. Let's learn to live with substance so we can live our fullest lives.
If you're in a place now where you just don't feel like "going deep," that's okay. I still honor and respect you. A day will come when you realize that you don't have to listen to all the garbage stored inside of you.
For now, enjoy this pic. I find it kind of funny :)
Live with substance!
