I know why you are here. I know what you've been doing... Why you hardly sleep, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. I was looking for an answer.. It's the question that drives us. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.
The answer is out there, and it's looking for you, and it will find you, if you want it to.
They say our mind will seek to learn that which it needs. They say it happens unconsciously, much like we blink, breathe, and our heart beats. They say a lot of things.
We filter millions of bits of information every second, as the most perfect super computer ever built, organic in all its magnificence. Built to err, learn, aspire, inspire. We only filter what we need, that which makes it through those filters manufactured by childhood past, beliefs and values.
As you inhale this very moment, and exhale in this next moment; that may very well be the same air inhaled by Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and all other greats that came and left before the arrival ofyou. That's right, the same carbon and oxygen is recycled day in; day out; in you, in me, animals and plants on this Earth; coexisting in the times of the Wooly Mammoth or today's most modern NASA technology. It does not matter because that very same breath that you take at this very moment, may be the very same molecules of oxygen that inspired E=MC2. It may be the same breath that once spoke so boldly, I have a dream!. And so it is. And so you are, living and breathing the same molecules that have existed since the inception of inception.
Plug yourself into yourself. Listen. Plug yourself into intuition. Listen. Plug yourself into that which is innate, instinct, and instantaneously you. As you feel inspired, then make that your cue, to act, feel, answer that question; that answer that drives you and beckons your arrival. And as the answer finds you now; at even the most unconscious level, these words may stay with you for a lifetime. And if the question were to reappear know that you can answer it at any moment when you wish.
Consider this:
Your existence without purpose is dead. Your purpose without existence is dead also.
Live.
