The more I try to learn about life, the less I know about it. I had thought that by reading books on how to live life, I could somehow manage to become a better person.
I had thought that if I read enough books by Paulo Coelho, I could finally get the courage to live my life differently. Fearless, maybe? I don't know. I thought if I knew how to use ‘The Secret’, I could learn to go after what I want in life with more eagerness and determination. I also thought that if I could finish A New Earth, I could somehow find my ‘true self’.
Yet, after reading and watching these similar types of books and shows, instead of feeling like I’ve found the answers to all of my questions, I ended up with plenty more questions than I did before.
When the initial purpose of me indulging myself into these things were to simplify the rules I had of life, I ended up getting tangled in a bigger pile of unanswered questions.
People can only go so far in trying to explain the best way to live our lives, to go for our dreams and to find peace. They can only go so far.
I had spent most of my time trying to find something that was clearly there all along. When all I had to do was simply LIVE MY LIFE the best way I could possibly live it.
So perhaps, instead of always trying to look for answers in others, I should just live. That's what we all came here to do after all, no?
