I was mindlessly scrolling through my Facebook feed one day when some video came into view. If I remember correctly, the video started playing automatically (I’ve since learned how to disable autoplay!) and suddenly I was captivated by the biggest load of kak south of the Equator.
In the video, a woman was carrying on about her hardship and how she and her family have persevered. I do concede it was a very, very sad story, but unfortunately it was being aired, laundered and displayed for all on social media to share in her tale of woe. Don’t ask me for the details because I couldn’t be bothered to remember.
Sidenote to the side boobs: if you feel I am callous and insensitive about the troubles and woes of others, I command you to stop reading. Because I do care, but I do not care for people who plaster it all over the interwebs.
I call it “fishing for sympathy”, and I am not a sympathy fish.
Here is what she said (roughly translated):
I know that God has a plan for my life, and that I can leave it in His capable hands.
I paused.
Not the video, but my attention.
Because suddenly something was scratching the inside of my rectum in a very painful way, and I had to pay attention to an aspect of my own existence, suddenly.
“Let Go And Let What?”
This woman’s clichéd statement evoked a question deep within me, and I had to chew on it for a few seconds.
It just did not sit right with me to leave my fate and the trajectory of my life in the hands of something or someone I would hope had my best interest at heart (which it does, by the way!) Something about this felt … off.
I felt how the question of Life Purpose was intrinsically linked to her statement.
Incoming Message From The Great Giant Head
And then: it HIT me! A sentence as clear as daylight hit me right between my two exterior eyes… more-or-less where my third (and internal) eye would be situated:
Sometimes the Divine needs janitors.
The comprehension was immediate: if I don’t come up with a plan for my life, Life Itself/the Universe/God/the Divine/whatchamacallit will make a plan for me according to Its needs.
Humans: Our Own Worst Enemy!
Alan Watts once said:
The Meaning of Life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everyone rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.
All we HAVE to do in this incarnation – in THIS body – is to be alive. You do not have to become anything. You definitely do not have to even be of worth to anybody (other than to yourself). As long as you are alive, living (not just existing) and aware, you have achieved enough.
But then we get bored, now don’t we!
Boredom Breeds Discontent… Mostly
Out of boredom, we begin to fabricate goals, achievements, awards, accolades, and accomplishments that we need to religiously, fastidiously, studiously and stoically chase like we chase a shot of Jägermeister with a beer.
Life’s purpose is to be alive.
Everything else is secondary.
And suddenly a few people go cockeyed wondering how the fuck that fits in with the original story.
You Don’t Have to do Anything
There are only three things you have to do in this life: eat, shit and sleep.
The rest, you GET TO do!
So let me clear that up for you: once you understand that you do not have to … I repeat: you do not HAVE to chase anything in this life, you realise that the only other option is that you GET TO.
That’s right: you get to chase things that you find interesting. You GET to run after your own goals and deadlines.
Just make sure that these are really the goals and deadlines you wish to chase, mind you.
That was point number 2 that you got to realise and digest.
Point number three is what this whole article is actually about: Your Plan.
“If you don’t decide what’s worth giving a f*ck about, the world will decide for you.”
– Mark Manson
You see! It’s not just me who thinks this chick has it all wrong!
Decide to decide, and then decide what you want to do, have and experience in this life. Don’t be nilly willy. Don’t be wishy-washy.
Be stabby-stabby! Pinpoint your goals, wishes and experience.
Then walk up to that Golden Throne (no, not your toilet, you Yatz!) and say to God/the Divine/the Universe – make up your mind about what you want to call it – say to It:
“Hey, Big Kahuna! I would like to experience a new career in marketing. I was thinking about running it from home and to do that, I have a few ideas on how to start. I also have a contact at a local company that can help with X, Y and Z. I’d like you to open the doors for me so I can get this plan implemented.”
And then you start moving!
Yes, MOVE your arse in the direction where you want it to go.
The Physical Universe Supports Action, Not Thought
Let’s all read that again: the physical Universe supports action, not thought!
All the whoo-whoo bullshit of vision boards and affirmations are going to deliver negative results if your emotions and your actions are not aligned with the desired results.
Feeling kak today? Figure out what is making you feel kak, transmute it and move on.
Did you spend more time surfing porn than working on your Plan? Zip up and get cracking. Time may be infinite, but so is the Dark Web… and darkness can consume your resources and energy.
Apparently one of the guys in the Bible said to his people: if you give ONE step in my direction, I will give TWO towards you…
… or something to that effect. You catch my drift!
And if you feel like the wheels are coming off, or you never had them on… or it is time to change the tyres, I’m here to help!
Check out my “Feel Better” Project or book a psychic guidance session and stop suffering through this on your own! Let’s suffer through this…
TOGETHER!
