“You take life so seriously Steve” — said everyone to me as I started to engage deeply with life.
Yes. I take my one, infinite, open, creative existence with utmost seriousness. What the f**k else am I going to do? Do you not?
Think about it —
You wouldn’t plan a trip to Disneyland and then sit on a bench all day. You would get a map, plan the rides, make sure you find the best food stalls, plan more rides and make sure you fit everything in and do everything to maximise your entire experience. Think about the necessary planning you do to ensure your holidays are the best they can be.
Why is your life and existence any different to this? Why would you not show up with the same level of passionate and intricate effort for every single piece of your one existence?
Think very long about what is being said here.
And remember, taking your life seriously does not mean that you become a serious person. I have found the opposite to be true.
