High
I just got back from the mountains. It was a really relaxing weekend. I spent so much time thinking about things that people need to think about more often than they actually do; things about their inner self and the things around them that affect their personality. I thought about the things that need to be amended. My strengths, my weaknesses and how I need to manipulate them to make me a better person. I listed the things I want to accomplish over a lifetime. Some very minor like I want to drive a Porsche on the German autobahn and some a bit more important.
Have you ever thought about the things you want to do in your lifetime? I need some goals for my life. I want to always be striving for something, living for something. Reasons, purposes, goals… what keeps you going? Why should you be happy that you’ll see another sunrise and sunset? I am coming off an intellectual high and I don’t want the feeling to wear off soon because that’s when the routine will set back in.
Did you ever see Dead Poet’s Society? There was a scene in the movie where the professor made all the kids stand on the desk so that they could see the world from a different perspective. I think that is so very important and metaphorical for life. Always look for the different angle to see life from.
