wake up!

I woke up today and realized, this is all a farce. Our days, our thoughts, our actions, our worries, our emotions, it’s all a farce. We think things matter, we think we know, but I think we actually don’t know shit. Yes, we can make choices, like to stop at a stop sign or not, to put the fork on the left, the knife on the right and to not wear white after labor day——- but, all these goals, these dreams these strategic plans so many of us live by— it’s just a total farce.

AS I write this, this building could collapse. Any plan I had would be completely obviated into the past, and, our soul focus, every single ounce of our focus would turn to survival. If my phone rang and my kid was hurt, everything that mattered would immediately have no meaning what so ever. Really, this idea of having a plan, obtaining a goal—I’m guessing the universe created these illusions so that we had some sense of meaningfulness, purpose, direction. A reason to carry on, endeavor and endure this journey. And that’s cool– truth is, I need that often – that jet propelled reason to get from here to there.

But I’ll tell you one thing, the reason my life works isn’t because I plan or reach goals, it’s because I’m totally completely unattached to the outcome of my pursuits. Yes I want to build this company; yes I’m ok if tomorrow we don’t even have one. Yes, I want to crush out a ton of deals today, and yes, if I all of a sudden I get an impulse to get up and go buy a red shirt instead, I will. (I hate red. … I know, awkward considering.. ) . The goal isn’t what I really want— the moment is. The deep moments where we connect and deepen ourselves and our way. I want people to laugh, to be freed up, to not give a shit. I think in many ways, this might be my real mission, to help people break down the illusions, to recognize the farce and to hang it all up in favor of living for this moment, these times, right here now.
