The longer we progress on our journey, the more we realize that it's not only about winning or losing, money, or other performance goals. Nor is it not about figuring out the meaning of life, in some kind of absolute form. So, what is it then? Maybe the most reasoned view is that the journey is about putting ourselves in a “situation” so that we can have special kinds of experiences that ideally provide exceptional states of clarity on life, how we feel, and who we are becoming. And each time we find ourselves progressing we can also find it a struggle to go deeper and understand the meaning of what we are going through; why am I here, what is the point of what I am doing, and more generally the meaning of life. But lest we miss the point, it is the fragments of answers that we find that build on each other that, can, over time coalesce into something more concrete later. Yes, it is then what we are setting out to do, embracing the process of living, growing, and evolving. Life is not simply something we do; it is what we experience and what we become, changing all the way, yes indeed….

Loving life when I do what I set out to do
