We’re all pursuing something
to achieve a sense of fulfillment.
Love, wealth, independence, purpose.
We mark these successes as lives lived well.
Do you prioritize based on
filling those empty spaces within you
easily, quickly, fully?
Does it have a shelf life?
When you capture what you are after
do you become less satisfied? Uninterested?
Is your attention shifted to the next chase?
When you capture what you are after
does your heart radiate love?
Is passion poured into your soul?
Does it feel like home?
In our divine human nature
we must seek balance and perspective.
How do we distinguish between fleeting + comfortable
versus long-lasting + worthy?
Are you pursuing to feel something or
do you chase to feel anything?
It is a world of difference. Maybe even a lifetime.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

So thought provoking as usual. When I read it (and all your stuff) I can’t help wondering of the personal context of what you’re dealing with that produces these thought trains. Can only speculate of course. That being said, I’ve found personally that the absence of all pursuit save one (knowledge, potentially also defined as understanding) has done me a world of good.. A lot of the constructs of what we believe we might/should pursue are exactly that; constructs. Belonging to frankly someone else.

And in case the suggestion above sounds like it would lead to a life that’s cold, lonely, boring, uninspiring etc.. I would add that even in the absence of deliberate pursuit, wonderful things/experiences still do happen. Literally, falling in your lap even. Things that were truly “meant to be” and not a result of potentially misguided pursuits.
