7 True Love Stories to Heal Your Heart

-

February 12, 2014

I don’t know why, probably because of the low levels of tolerance and what is presented to us through the media, the world today seems like it’s increasingly absent of love. Of course, this is not true. It’s not the world that is lacking of love it’s we, the humans who believe less and less in true love.

We close its doors and stop its flow in the world. But, love still exists and waits for Someone to Open Its Doors by believing in it again. We Need to Free Love by Opening Our Hearts.

There are People in This World Who are an Example and a living proof of true love. Their stories will heal your heart and help you find faith in love once again.

1. True Love Defies All The Odds

Loves is the strongest will in The Universe. The Will of Love doesn’t care about odds or chances, it is beyond that. When we are driven by the will of love and if that love is pure, True Love, than there is no force in The Entire Universe that can stop us from doing what we want.

2. True Love is Bigger Than Logic

True Love is stronger than sickness, stronger than consciousness. True Love listens with the heart no matter how strange that sounds to people who have never experienced it. True Love means being there when they need you even if there is no logical point in doing that.

3. True Love Never Gets Old

The pure things like happiness, love, fun, joy, wonder….. are eternal, they never get old. It is we who stop believing in them as we believe that we get old by growing old.

4. True Love is doesn’t Care about Sacrifice

The strength, the courage, the power of True Love are beyond explanation. We feel them, we feel like screaming in the face of fear with a smile in our face just to express how funny and small our greatest fear looks like next to our True Love. It doesn’t care about the sacrifice, doesn’t care about what is smarter or what’s the point. True Love doesn’t need a point.

5. True Love is Knowing Without Evidence

When we love a person with our whole heart that person is our home. There is no place in The Entire Universe we’d rather be because that person is our Entire Universe.

6. True Love is Beyond Sex

True Love doesn’t care who we are or what we do or what we are. We can be the kindest saints or the greatest psychopaths in the world but if our hearts are compatible, when we look in each others eyes, there will be True Love.

7. True Love Means Never Letting Go

They say if you love someone let them go and if they return they were meant to be yours. Bull***t! If you love someone, if you truly love someone with all your heart, you never let go. No matter if there is no logical reason or the whole world turns its back on you, you never let go. You keep on trying and trying and trying until you get what you truly love or stop loving it. Sometimes we let go of things we love a little too early and move on with our lives pretending everything is alright. No one should punish himself living a life like that.

THE CODE

<True Love exists no matter if we believe in it or not and we can lie to ourselves by ignoring our heart to suit our fears or we can face them and open our heart to free the love we hold locked inside>

But wait, There is More Love.

Bruce Lee: “Be Water, My Friend”

Bruce Lee was born in Chinatown, San Francisco on Wednesday, 27 November 1940. As a young kid he was acting in a couple of movies and at the age of 13 he began studying martial arts and training Wing Chun under the legendary teacher Yip Man. Through his life he acted in various movies and TV Shows but his real pop icon fame came at his early 30’s through the production of his martial art films like “The Big Boss” (1971), “Fist of Fury” (1972) and “Way of the Dragon” (1972).

However, his greatest achievements had nothing to do with the movie industry. Lee’s legacy was founded through his personal martial arts philosophy he called “Jeet Kune Do” – The Way of The Intercepting Fist –

“Don’t get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind; be formless, shapeless – like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; you put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” – Bruce Lee

As you probably realize by now he doesn’t mean to be literally water, but still, what does he really mean with this quote? Let’s examine water for a bit and maybe we’ll come to an understanding.

Being one of the four essential elements of life, Water has its own character. This element is associated with The Mental Pillar and its most famous power comes from persistence.

Water is calm, still and its shape becomes as the shape of the object it is in. However, water never changes its form; no matter if it is in a cup, an aquarium or a hole in the ground water is always water no matter what shape it is taking on.

If Water is a superhero than its superpower would be endurance. No matter how much time passes Water will wait, and wait, and wait until an opportunity opens a door.

Water will do small things, unnoticeable things which will seem insignificant at the moment but when time passes those things will create an outcome with an unstoppable power.

If you don’t believe it just imagine making a hole with a head of a needle into a dam. As long as the hole is larger than Water’s molecules, water will start grinding the hole until the whole dam breaks creating a disaster unimaginable for a needle-hole to cause.

Because of its constant repetitive action, water creates the power we humans use as electricity.

Water can stay still for eternity preserving its potential power but when an opportunity shows, water can be one of the most destructive things on Earth. Just look what a Tsunami can do.

Water’s desire to fulfill its purpose cannot be stopped if it is locked in a box or isolated in a glass, it will wait for an opportunity without changing its form until a “door opens” or it vaporizes.

But even changing its form doesn’t stop water to fulfill its purpose as eventually it will became water again falling on Earth and continuing its flow.

It is these characteristics of water – the adaptability, the persistency and the endurance – that inspired Bruce Lee to say “Be water, my friend”.

In other words he is saying to be adaptable; to be able to adapt to our environment but without changing our form; without changing The Essence of Who We Really Are no matter where we find ourselves at.

The other thing is to be persistent. To do what makes us better no matter how small of a change we make at the moment because when time passes, all those small changes will merge creating something more than what we could’ve possibly imagined.

Why Long-Distance Running Beats any Other Sport ?

Why Long-Distance Running Beats any Other Sport ?

As humans, we love to compete with each other, it’s in our nature. As we evolved from being primitive so did our ways of competing and we developed many different kinds of sports.

We have invented football, basketball, wrestling….. the whole freaking set of Olympic games just to express our pathetic physical abilities.

Why am I saying pathetic? Well we, As Human Species, are not alone on this planet. If our physical capabilities are compared with all species that exist on this planet we are truly pathetic.

Humans Vs. Animals

Let’s take Usain Bolt as an example. His speed is nothing less than phenomenal comparing to another human being, but if a cheetah races with him (it will probably eat him but for the sake of the argument let’s say it races him) he stands no chance with the cheetah’s 120km/h speed.

Let’s take Michael Jordan, probably the most legendary athlete ever. His performance almost made us believe that he was repealing the law of gravity and during his prime he made rival players look as if they were moving in slow motion.

But, comparing him with a regular house cat is ridiculous considering how casually young cats can jump up onto refrigerators. To match that MJ would have to do a standing jump over the backboard.

Even a dog corkscrewing through the air eight feet up to catch a Frisbee is impossible when you compare it with our human capabilities.

We are neither the fastest nor the strongest and compared to birds not even our memory capabilities are as brilliant as we thought they are.

But, when it comes to long-distance running, there is no organism on earth more suitable than the human organism. Running Benefits Us Most and we are best at it.

The Way Our Bodies are Designed

Our bodies are made in such a way that enables us to run 50 miles per day, barefoot without making a big deal out of it.

We have long striding legs with spring-ly tendons, ligaments and muscles that let us briefly store elastic energy as we come down on our feet and then recoil to help propel us forward.

We have inherited large leg and foot joints from our ancestors, which spread out high forces that must be absorbed when running and sir mix-a-lot has every right to “like big buts” because those gluteus maximus muscles help us ensure stability on two legs unlike any other animal.

Our torsos are designed to counter-rotate vs. our hips which also benefits us with higher stability.

Most animals are designed for sprinting because they are either the predator chasing the prey or the prey running away from predators. Their muscles have high percentage of fast-twitch fibers which enables them to acquire high-speed.

We, however, have a different design that is far more for endurance rather than sprinting. Our muscles have an unusually large percentage of fatigue-resistant, slow-twitch muscle fibers which helps us endure running long distances.

Be that as it may, we are best at one thing animals can dream of doing as effectively as we do. We are the best sweaters in the whole world. We can dissipate body heat faster than any other large mammal. Let me explain why this is not so lame.

A cheetah, a horse, even a dog or a cat can outrun us at first by sprinting. But, none of them can sprint very long without overheating.

Their system of cooling down involves panting and they cannot pant while sprinting because it will interfere with their respiration.

How Did We Outran The Animals ?

Dogs can sprint for only about 10 to 15 minutes before overheating, and so their distance-running speed tops out at about 3.8 meters per second while horses’ average distance-running speed is 5.8 per second.

Elite human runners can sustain speeds up to 6.5 meters per second. Even treadmill joggers typically run between 3.2 and 4.2 meters per second, which means they can outrun dogs at distances greater than two kilometers.

Our peak daily distance is impossible for animals to outrun. Hunting dogs run average of 10 km per day. Wolves and hyenas run approximately 14 – 19 km per day while horses run their best of 20 km in one day.

This is almost half of what amateur marathon runners run in just a couple of hours reaching a 42,2 km distance. Even this is nothing compared to humans who run ultra marathons of 100 km.

A guy named Gordon Green gone one step too far to prove an argument with his friend that a human can outrun a horse on a long distance. He helped in the organization of The Wales marathon and in 2004 he won the argument when a British man named Huw Lobb outrun the horses and won the marathon.

How Long-Distance Running Benefitted Our Evolution ?

Many studies have proven that long distance running improves our brain development and memory.

Some scientists say that we have evolved this way because it was crucial for our ancestors to remember landmarks, tracking clues, location of water sources, and so on while they were running and hunting their food. Running made us smarter.

We may confidently say that we were born to run. Even natural selection gifted us with the famous “runners high” to help us develop tendency for running so we’ll be able to survive and evolve.

We Were Born to Endure

Since the beginning of time humans have endured many catastrophes, hardships and extinctions, we are a living proof of that.

The secret to how we’ve managed to survive as species for more than 200,000 years probably lies in our ability to endure, not just in a physical way but in a mental too.

We are neither the strongest nor the fastest for sure, but history proves that when we want something we can endure almost anything developing our brains in a way to help us achieve what we want.

We have never been the predators but our smarts always kept us safe from being the prey. By managing our power and using it on a long-term plan we have managed to rise up above all the species on Earth.

Our superpower is doing something for so long that when time passes we achieve things unbelievable for logic.

The Point in Running This Marathon we call life is choosing a direction and enduring the run until we get there. The only way to “Hunt” our dreams is by enduring the “run”.

<As humans, our greatest ability is to endure>

Why Do Wars Still Exist ?

Wars? Why do wars still exist? Why something we all know is wrong is still happening? I started to think about the topic “War” and as I asked questions I surfed from one topic to another.

As all of you probably know, everything if examined for a long period of time steers our mind to that eternal question “What is The Meaning of Life?” or “How were we created?”

Surfing through the most complex things all the way to the simplest I came upon the answers I searched for or maybe these were the answers that are most compatible to my way of thinking.

The conclusion I came to was that wars are, described as simple as they can be described, just a conflict, as same kind of conflict as when kindergarten kids want some toy that another kid has.

But, the difference is these kids are now managers of higher power. These kids have different options now, they are able to take the “Toy” from the other kid by sending an Army to fight for them, or by taking away something that the other kid wants.

Wars are just a conflict between countries, between what those countries value and honor, between the people who are at the head of those countries, everything else is just a variable that complicates the process and blurs what really a war is.

We, the 99% don’t create wars, the people who have that kind of power create wars and those are the people who are above the grid, above The Prison We are All In.

They tell you that if we create a war and if we win we will get something better. That’s as same as like if you are a prisoner and the warden of the prison tells you that if all the prisoners fight with prisoners of another prison and win, the prisoners of this prison will get a better food.

The thing is even if you win you are still a prisoner and in the process a lot of people will lose their lives. So is it really worthy to risk so many lives for something as insignificant as “better food”?

Instead of fighting for “better food” we should fight for freedom, for real freedom, at least that’s the only reason worth fighting and dying for.

Fight to escape the prison we are all held in and we are held in just because the people who created it are scared that we may rise above them and have more power than they have if we are not somehow controlled and ruled.

We are all people, we are all the same, we are all created from matter and energy, we are the entire Universe experiencing itself in a human form.

All of us are the same, only our believes, egos, culture, experience, and fears make us different. We don’t want to hurt each other, We Want to Help One Another, we want to be happy as same as the next guy, we want to see the world smiling not burned down in ashes.

All of us have great intentions but the greed and fear sometimes can poison our minds and make us do unnecessary things which we will regret and which have grave consequences. Fear and Greed are twisting our reality and show us something that is not real.

Only fear tells us that we need to be careful because people around us may hurt us, only greed is responsible for never being satisfied with what we have and be jealous of what other people have.

The truth is no body will hurt us if he/she is not making actions based on fear or greed. But it is like chain reaction, one afraid person creates 2 people who are afraid, those create 2 more and those 2 another 2 and so on.

In the end we end up in a world that is afraid and people may hurt each other just because they think they want to hurt each other.

If there is no Fear and Greed there will be no wars, it is that simple, but how can the world realize that there is nothing to be afraid of? How can the world realize that searching for material staff will never be enough and that we need to focus on the immaterial instead?

We are all the same but we act like we are somehow different from the guy next to us. Guess what buddy, you are not. You are as same as that guy, and the only difference is will you love him or fear him.

We all know how to live and what is the right way to live but when it comes to Sex, Power, Material Pleasures, Food, Ego, we are all locked and loaded, ready to kill each other.

If we are able to stop our greed once and for all and if we realize that there is nothing to be afraid of except the fear itself, the world will be fixed. Then we will see that There is No Enemy Outside if there is no enemy inside.

We all want to help each other, all of us, whoever we are. We all have good intentions in the end, but it is not about having good intentions.

It is About not Being Afraid and Greedy, it’s about helping others not to be afraid and greedy. It’s about the greater good, about love, happiness. It’s about chance to leave a better world for the next generation.

Wars will exist until we stop trying to take away “the toy” from the other “kid” and learn to play together.

THE CODE

<Wars between people will exist until wars inside people exist and until fear and greed are replaced with love and gratitude>

Fight for Your Happily Ever After !

Life is not all rainbows and fireworks, sunshine and green fields filled with flowers. There are no happy endings for most people. Most people will never have that perfect kiss, that true happiness or that perfect moment to tell the loved ones what they feel. In all probability, their loved ones will be gone before they even realize how much they meant to them.

Life is a weird story for most people. People meant for each other end up torn apart pretending like everything is fine. People that have the greatest minds, minds that can help humanity, end up living their lives like robots.

Kids with noble hearts end up with their souls destroyed. Men, with the courage of a lion, end up bleeding in the battlefield with no body to tell them “I love you”. People who live their whole lives alone end up dying alone with no one to hold their hand.

People waking up every day feeling regret not being able to change anything. There are kids left alone on the streets, dying for a piece of bread. There are people, who sacrificed their lives for happiness of other people, thrown on the streets like a piece of garbage.

Life is not like the movies or the TV shows we see. Things won’t turn out fine at the end just by themselves. In all probability they’ll turn out worse. There is no predetermined script and scenario. The people you love will turn against you, the people most dear to you will die and the bad guys will win if you don’t do anything about it.

Life is not the movies we see, life is not a comedy, or a drama, or a thriller, or a tragedy, or some sci-fi adventure. Life is all of them and that is the best thing about life. It gives you the chance to choose. It gives you the chance to decide what kind of movie you want your life to be.

You are the actor of your own movie. You are the hero of your own story. Don’t let others decide what kind of movie you’ll watch when your life flashes before your eyes.

Don’t let stupid people with hurt egos rule the world. Don’t let jerks or whores take the person you love because you were too shy or too proud to show how you really felt. Don’t let laws or rules dictate your actions. Don’t let limited people stop you from reaching your dream. Don’t let skeptics keep you from believing in magic.

BE THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY. Punch someone in the face if it’s necessary to keep what’s yours. Fight for your happily ever after! Choose your life to be a happy comedy and not some emotional tragedy. Make that your main goal, to fight against tragedy, let that be your villain. Defeat anyone who tries to push you away from your happily ever after, break his/her nose if necessary.

If something bad happens it shouldn’t be a tragedy. In every comedy there are bad things happening to the hero. What happens doesn’t determine if your life is going to be a comedy or a tragedy, your actions and attitude towards that bull**it does.

Just decide that your life is a comedy with a happy end. Make yourself sure of that. Understand that it is not what happens but how you happen. Man up and squeeze the funny out.

Fight for your story, fight for a better life. Fight for everyone who should have a happy end. Fight for every decent, good person who is living a tragedy. Fight for every person filled with regret. Fight for the lonely kids and the fallen heroes that nobody has heard of. Fight for the ones you love, fight for that spark in every human distinguished by fear.

Fight for humanity, and most of all, FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN STORY. Make sure the good guys win.

THE CODE

<You are the writer and the hero of your own story, make sure the good guys win>

OSHO: “Spirituality is Fun, God is Always Joking”

OSHO: “Spirituality is Fun, God is Always Joking”

Acharya Rajneesh, since 1989 known as OSHO, was an Indian guru, mystic and spiritual teacher. He died at 58 years and in his life he wrote over 600 books. His style of sharing the messages is unique filled with humor, playfulness and simplicity.

“God is always joking! Look at your own life – it is a joke. Look at other people’s lives and you will find jokes and jokes and jokes. Seriousness is illness. Seriousness has nothing spiritual about it. Spirituality is laughter. Spirituality is joy. Spirituality is fun.” – OSHO

What was he trying to say with the quote above? What does it mean “god is always joking”? Are we that worthless to be called a joke? Are we all a joke?

Before you get all mad and defensive saying “who is he to call my life a joke” hear me out. Well….. read me out. You are a joke. I am a joke too. Everyone is a joke and everything is a joke because we created seriousness.

This doesn’t mean that our life is worthless. The quote tells the opposite. It says that our life is so much more than we limit it to be with seriousness. Our life is filled with joy that we put shadow on with being serious.

Look at the facts. We are riding on a giant rock orbiting around a star in the midst of eternity and infinity. We are a product of process longer than 3,7 billion years. We are made of 99,9% empty space. We are able to see and hear less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum.

We will never be able to meet all the people or go to every city or hear every song or watch every movie or read every book or learn everything there is and we still stress over things like saying “I love you”, speaking in public, or running out of time.

We still fight over this rock we all ride on knowing that even if we owe the whole thing we will sooner or later die. We still fight each other for a place on this planet even when we know that there is more than enough for 10 times more than we are.

We kill each other for power while the sun can fart and kill us all at any moment. We kill each other over which story of god is real instead of focusing on the message that story intended to share.

We are trying to understand The Universe we are a part of. We seek knowledge our entire life, neglecting life itself, just to find in the end that we know nothing. Isn’t this funny?

Don’t you see the joke?

The Truth is, in nature there are no jokes. There is no seriousness, fear, ego, greed, love, hate, anger. We are the ones that create all those things. In nature they are just different frequencies of vibration.

When we are fooled by ego and fear that separateness exists we create seriousness. Jokes are the result of creating seriousness. This is because seriousness is paradoxical by nature.

There are countless options and solutions to anything in nature and being serious about something creates an illusion that the options are limited. This is what creates the joke. Being serious is the joke.

I assure you that we can all sit on a table, speak about the greatest problems in the world and find better solutions if we are not being serious.

Being serious doesn’t serve anyone or anything it just makes you attached with bad, intense emotions to the problem which clouds your judgment.

When we detach from the 2 sides of the coin, joking and being serious, we go beyond them.

We let our emotions flow and synchronize with The Truth. We see the joy in life, the freedom, the wonder, the playfulness, the fun. We realize that there are endless options of what we can do and the only thing we need to find out is where our heart points.

The only thing why we are serious is that we don’t trust each other enough to live without limits.

We think that if we are not serious about some problem we will never solve the problem. We think that if we are not serious we will not care about people who need help.

No! Fear makes you believe that…

Fear makes us don’t trust each other and because we don’t trust each other we hurt each other. Because we hurt each other we believe that we don’t care about each other.

We are Humans. Our Nature is to love each other, to care for each other. That’s what gives us energy. By Nature we want to live by each other’s happiness not by each other’s misery. We want to see one another smiling and laughing and playing and dancing and wandering through the wonders of The Universe, not hating each other. Who wants to hate?

Fear makes us hate. Fear makes us believe that we are weak. Fear makes us believe that there are limited amounts of anything. Fear makes us believe in scarcity. Fear makes us greedy. Fear makes us hurt each other.

God is always joking because we are being serious.

We stress our whole lives for a bigger house, faster car, luxury, glamour, fame, better looks, great career, discipline, rules, laws….. when in nature none of those things exists.

We have created an illusion and we chase that illusion forgetting that if we have created that illusion, we can create whatever we want right at this moment.

Being happy rises your frequency of thinking which means you can connect more thoughts and ideas together therefore creating better solutions to help the world.

Being serious doesn’t make you worthy of solving a problem it just makes you… well serious.

Don’t take anything too seriously!

There is no point in being serious. You can talk, and find better solutions about all the problems not being serious. This doesn’t mean that you are not respecting the importance of the problem, it just means that you’ve found a better way to deal with it.

Nothing is that serious for you not to joke about.

Nothing good comes from being serious.

There is no bad moment to create positive energy.

Throughout The Whole Universe and its stars, you are here, riding on a planet around the sun with the ones who made your ride possible. Have a little fun, why the hell would you be serious?

What Have We Learned ?

THE CODE

<Being serious is the ultimate joke that limits our options to experience joy, seriousness has nothing spiritual about it, spirituality is fun>

15 Running Benefits You’ll Fall in Love With

The greatest “superpower” we humans have is to sweat. It is not as lame as it sounds. Our bodies are constructed in such a unique way unlike any other species on our planet. We can dissipate body heat faster than any other large mammal.

This means that if we Start Running a Marathon, or let’s say a super-marathon, competing with horses, cheetahs, lions or any other animal that exists, after some time they’ll get tired and stop but we will continue to run. We will outrun them in the end, no matter how fast their speed was at the beginning. This is because their bodies cannot cool down as efficient and effective as our bodies can.

We are really “cool” when it comes to running and this ability helps us to endure long distances better than any other being that we know of. If there is a competition for activities that benefit humans most than running will win. Why? Well…..

Running Will Make You Live Longer

Running benefits our health, It Improves Our Immune System and keep us in shape. A review of 22 studies has shown that running 30 minutes per day 3 times a week will decrease your chances of premature death by 50%.

It Will Strengthen Your Heart

Running is a cardiovascular exercise which means it is beneficial for your cardiovascular system. It will make your arteries more elastic and keep your blood pressure low. This cardiovascular profile is Very Healthy for Your Heart. A study has shown that the heart of an average inactive person beats 75 times per minute or 108,000 times in 24 hours. Runner hearts beat 36,000 times less than that of an inactive person. This means that running preserves the heart.

Running is The Most Effective Fat Burner Exercise

The most effective and healthy weight loss programs are the ones that combine exercises and healthy diet. Many Other Exercises burn fat but not as good as running. On average, running 1 mile will burn you 100 calories. However it is not the calories it is the easy accessibility and the balanced intensity that make running better from any other exercise.

It Removes Toxins from Your Body

Running activates our whole bodies and makes us excess the accumulated toxins through sweat. If we practice Running in Nature the detoxification will be more effective as of the clean air. While we run our lungs’ capacity will maximize in the same time keeping them strong and powerful. This benefit makes us inhale more clean air and Filter The Toxins we breathe throughout the day.

Running Will Improve Your Creativity

Some doors that you have never been aware of will be open, new points of view, other directions to go. The Limits of Your Imagination Will Be Expanded. How could simply running do all of this? There is a combination of factors that are working together to make you achieve that, like some chemicals that are produced in your brain, improved circulation, the thinking process you are going through while your run.

It Will Make You Find Solutions to Any Problem

While we run a chemical is produced in the brain called serotonin. This is the chemical form of happiness. That is what gives runners the famous “runners high”. While running we look at things from a different perspective because we are “high” above them and we see the whole picture. The combination of the “runners point of view” and the blood flow in our brain, results with our mind generating Solutions and Ideas Only The Runner Can Perceive.

Running Awakens Your Mind and Gives Your Energy Back

It is a hard exercise, no questions about that. Running demands a decent amount of your energy. However, running doesn’t waste your energy. It converts the energy you use into a filtered, pure energy and gives it back to you. While we run we can feel that maybe our body is getting tired but our mind is constantly waking up. We continuously get more and more energy from somewhere else. That Somewhere Else is Actually You.

What is The Greatest Cause in The Universe ?

What is The Greatest Cause in The Universe ?

What is the greatest cause anyone can have? What matters the most in this thing we call life? As I wandered through the possible answers I realized something strange. Whenever I choose a reason, some noble purpose, I always end up seeing another one, nobler, greater than my previous choice.

What is the greatest purpose in life? First I thought that the greatest cause in The Universe is to understand yourself, to fix yourself and to free your mind. Then, I realized that there is something greater. You can help your family, your friends, and the people closest to you to understand themselves, to fix themselves, to become better and to free their minds.

Of course there is a purpose even greater than that. You can help The World be more aware and live in a way that is beneficial for everyone. But if you Help The World Function Better than why don’t help The Galaxy function better, The Universe, or maybe every Universe that exists, help everything that exists…..

Then 2 more questions entered my mind, Is our job to do all of this? and, What kind of person can possibly manage to do all of this? Well, the truth is we all can, individually. You see, the farther you go and see the bigger picture, the closer you come to yourself and realize that what matters is that tiny dot which creates the bigger picture, YOU.

The purpose of life is different for everyone, and that’s OK. The purpose of life is what you choose to be, what the things that you stand for are. It is not our job to understand how everything works, or why The Universe exists just like the audience of a magic show is not meant to understand the trick but to experience magic.

We are meant to experience the magic of life, the love, the friendship, the connection with other “Tiny Dots”, not to understand what love is or how long it lasts or how it happens. Understanding how something works intellectually, kills the magic.

So what if you are fooled? So what if everything is just a trick? A magician doesn’t do magic to fool you, he gives you the present of magic, the most amazing gift someone can ever give you.

Be fooled, fall in love, have friends, have an open heart and an open mind, experience the pleasures of not knowing but feeling. That is magic, the true magic and the true magic exists only if you let it exist.

That is the greatest purpose in life, to be and remain human. It is not our job to understand everything. Our job is to live, to be fooled, to experience magic. Our purpose is to live simply as humans, knowing that we could be gods. Our cause is to choose friendship before greatness, to choose love before science.

The greatest purpose in life is to be REAL, to be TRUE. All we really are is what we choose to be. So choose to be human, At The End of The Day it’s not about knowing what the planets are, what they are made of or how The Universe was created. At the end of the day we remember that “Tiny Dots” we spent the greatest times with.

We remember that tiny moments that gave us more happiness than all the knowledge in The Universe could give. We remember the hug of a friend or the kiss of our loved one. We remember the joke of our coworker or some embarrassing moment that is secretly making us smile. That’s Who We Are and That’s Who We Need to Remain.

The end of my dilemma came when I realized that the greatest possible cause anyone can have is not important. What’s important is what is the greatest possible purpose for ME? What do I stand for?

I stand for Love, I stand for Friendship. That’s greater for me than every battle fought or every science, or every cause that exists.

That’s what the greatest purpose for me is, to stand for LOVE and FRIENDSHIP by any means necessary. To choose them before greatness because for me nothing is greater than being with the ones you love. That is my bigger picture.

The purpose of life is not in the complexity, it’s in the simplicity. The greatest cause in The Universe is the act of having a cause to stand for, the quest of fulfilling your purpose. That’s the elegance of life.

<The greatest cause in The Universe is your cause>
