No one can predict the future, yet we have to use the knowledge that we have to plan for the future. Where do you think you belong? Where will you fit in best? Where will you thrive?
I have spent many years contemplating life, pursued business ventures for about 11 years, traveled a lot around the world. Bad health made me lose interest in most things in life. I am not interested in getting married, or making more money, or to accumulate things. Almost all my family died, and it brought me to a point where I wonder where do I go from here? What is next for the bachelor?
Just the other day I read something that Ajahn Chah said about the types of people, some roam all their life, they never able to settle down, find peace, take refuge in their lifestyle, or faith. He said that this type of person has a lot of knowledge, but he compared it to having a bottles of medicine, reading the labels, but never taking any medicine (just wants to be a smart ass) I think I pretty much find myself in that situation, I spent too many years probing, peering, yet not applying any of my knowledge.
I am in my late 30's, and in the last few weeks I started to realize that I have to make decisions, and go all in, before time is running out. As the saying goes "the problem with people is that they think that they do have time". As family members dies, this saying is starting to resonate, now more than ever.
I would likely end up somewhere around the Himalayas, to live a simple lifestyle among like minded people, while focusing on meditation, and further philosophical studies. I think that is ideally where I would like to end-up, I cant think of anything else that can give me with "closure" to this life. Personally, I would want closure, to a rather traumatic past.
How about you?
