Vijulian: ramblings of a light stalker

“This! This is just water. What I WANT is the Ocean!”

You can’t truly appreciate life, until you see it for what it is.

That’s what that anecdote was about. The fish was already in the ocean, but wasn’t satisfied because it felt that the ocean was supposed to be this big, grand thing that was so impressive.

The fish made the ocean out to be this grand supreme entity, but couldn’t appreciate all the aspects and parts that made that “water” the ocean.

Joe was so focused on his “purpose” and making his mark that he didn’t appreciate the simple things and the small ways that he had made a difference to hi students, community, and family.

Look for the “sparks” for life. The little and big things that make life amazing.

“Your spark isn’t your purpose. That last box fills in when you’re ready to come live. And, the thing is, you’re pretty great at jazzing.”
