The one question that no one seems to be able to answer is- 'What do you REALLY want?'. That question, when asked of almost anyone, moves them away from themselves. They start to talk about what their parents wanted for them, the potential their teachers could see in them, the talents their peers can see- anything but what they really want. It is a hard question. It takes effort to quiet down the other voices from the mind. But, if you spend that effort, and you do it long and hard enough you will start to hear a still small voice. That voice is yours. Let it get louder till you hear it scream- I WANT xxxxxxx! Then, start to move toward that goal. It doesn't take much, an hour a day maybe. Step by step you will start to move in the direction of your real want, your real desires. It could take years. But, a moment will arrive when you are experiencing exactly what you asked for. Then, reassess. Let the voice that is yours speak again. Then begin to move toward it, this time with assurance. This is what you are here to do. Now, just do it....

Sharks die when they stop moving forward. Same principle, I guess.
I hadn't thought of this concept in that way, but I suppose so. I suppose so...

Thanks for that. Now, jannatehimachal, what do you really want?
@call-me-howie I want to be wise human first of all after that all things matter in this cruel world

What would you do with your wisdom?
I really want to be the embodiment of joy... What about you, Howie?
Somehow kiwideb, I think you've already reached that goal and are exercising the second part- spreading that joy. Keep being you, you're doing it perfectly....
Aw, thank you :-)
One of my favorite proverbs. We live in a fast-paced world, where a lot of people want to get ahead of everybody else. When someone lags behind, they're automatically deemed unfit. Really though, the sooner people realize that going at their own pace is key, the better it would be for everyone.
I think you're right. The trick though is to really go through a period of introspection so that one knows what it is they wish to do. That gives one a meaning to life. The meaning of life is to give life meaning- I read that somewhere and thought it was great. Whoever said that nailed it...
