To some people, the question "what is the meaning of life" is contained in a perfectly made piece of avocado on toast.
It was long good, way before instagram food peeps got on the bandwagon.
If you’re from New Zealand you’ve been putting on the marmite (NZ version) before the avocado -
Which takes the whole thing into another dimension.
And if you’re a wild culinary explorer,
A touch of hummus after the avocado.
Bacon too, of course (of course!!) if you’re so inclined (and I am).
And that is all that is needed to satisfy many souls.
For some though,
This is not enough.
They want to know why …
Not the why of toast, because such toast needs no why,
But as in,
Why are you here?
What’s the purpose?
What’s the meaning of your life?
Beyond a lovely cup of tea and slice of fruit cake, with Wensleydale cheese - of course.
Satisfaction comes from two different sources.
One - as above, is the good things in life.
Toast, food in general, cool stuff, adventures, time with loved ones.
The other, more subtle source, is well … more subtle, innit?
The ultimate of satisfaction is found in your own being,
In your own presence,
In that inner sense of quiet, calm, content wholeness,
The unspoken “all is well” that you experience when you tune into this moment in time.
It needs nothing but remembering to remember it.
And that inner experience gives EVERY outer experience so much more “quality”; it makes everything so much easier and more fun.
You find this foundation and everything makes sense.
That unseen hole you may well have is filled.
Your purpose becomes obvious.
When you find the “how” to live, the “what” to do comes.
Now - you can’t think about this -
You have to do it.
You have to taste it.
And the only time you can do that is now.
Alright?
Go well!

If you want a helping hand to this experience -
The tools so you can remember to remember,
Any time you like -
In any moment, cutting through the thoughts and feelings that you want to ignore for the experience of goodness.
