Thoughts/Questions? Alongside Walker P. Boyle

[DJ Schro]

Angst. Why do I wake up some days full of purpose ready to take on the world. And other days, I wake up feeling confused, bombarding myself with questions. Am I doing the right things? What can I be doing better? What should I do today? I know I enjoy snow, surf, conversation, photography, nature, smoke, family, etc.. Why not consume oneself with life's loves (passion). take time, day by day to reflect on IT. BEING. Our existence is meaningless if we fill our days with ways to survive. There is greater purpose for animals (people) who have the capacity to think, reason, and decide. How do we live our lives when we are unsure as to what we want. I'd rather be dead than waste my days away until death presents itself. So go at IT everyday filling each day with purpose that will actually effect existence.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

We, unlike so many others in other parts of the United States and the world, have that option to LIVE not just SURVIVE. So many go days without a meal, clean water and a decent shelter for sleep. So yes, let's count ourselves (you fill in the adjective) and let us each day thank the universe and delve into our loves and surround ourselves with the ones we adore.

Thanks for this post. I have to shoot a wedding today and I am quite nervous. But something in this questioning made me feel better about it. I'm just going to go and kick ass, basically. That's all I can really do, no need to be so nervous!

What a familiar thought process this article displays. Sometimes I wonder if anybody else feels these feelings and contemplates the elements of life and how we choose the path we walk. Cormega said, "We all walking the path chosen, from the cradle till the caskets lowered." As Schro says, consume your life with passion. Surround yourself with the things you love, the people you love, the activities you love and things that inspire you in your heart and in your mind. Fuck what people say, fuck what they think. If somebody judges you it just means they haven't taken time to look at themselves. Do what you feel is right, all day, every day. When you get that feeling deep within your soul where you know you're doing what you're meant to do because it just feels so right, stay persistent. Only you know the answer, only you can determine the solution. Do what makes you feel alive.

Don't survive. Live.
