Our Most Essential Role

People often forget our most essential role in life; and when it's forgoten we often find ourselves lost.  The role was played by many in centuries past.  It beckoned the heart of many men and drove the imagination beyond its ordinary capacity. It lifted men over oceans and occasionally rewarded with treasures.

That role is the role of explorer, pioneer, seeker, adventurer. You are and must be an explorer.  Yes, Yes, the world has been traveled and territories siezed.  But remember we live in a new era.  This era presents a new frontier: the self or spirit.  We live in an information age where our minds are constantly bombarded with data.  Everywhere we look there is something vying for our attention, offerring ways-of-life and perspectives.

It is all to easy to forget the power of the person - that subjective passion Soren Kierkegaard wrote of- that enables ACTION.  Passion to unearth the truth, to find solutions, to risk, to move forward toward eternal happiness requires the mind of an explorer.

Open your mind. Read.  Act on what you read/learn/dream.  Afterward ask if it is working or if it is driving you closer to your life purpose.  If it is great!  If it is not, great!  If it is not chalk it up as territory already explored and in the future you may help another through that territory.
