Know Your Purpose

I just bought Bob Dylan tickets.
Man, those suckers were expensive.
And then $80 in processing fees.
Seriously?

But who cares. 
That's why we have money.
Put it towards the things that fill you up.

I can't wait to see Bob Dylan.

I met with a student at the college that is in town here.
We talked about a website.
Making ours new.
Have it function to sell coffee directly from it.
Ya know, normal stuff.

And he asked what our purpose was.
"Why?" he said.

I didn't quite know what to say.
The first thing that comes to mind is simple:
to make a living doing what I love.
But that doesn't seem like it's enough.
He asked more questions and I just had to get an idea of what he was saying.
Because to me it seemed like he was asking the one question that would expose the whole point
and I just never expected to be asked that question.

It's hard to say what it is that I'm trying to do.
It gets expressed in many different ways.
But there is something at the root of it.
Harmony.
To believe in it and attempt to live from that place.
A place where you have daily interactions of all types
and no matter what the type 
you are in harmony with it.
Not fighting it.
Getting through the world.
Together in Harmony.

I don't need to have peace with them.
I don't have to agree with them.
I can have serious negative feelings
and still live in harmony with them.

Now imagine if you are in harmony with people who think like you. 
Who believe in things like you do
and want to act according to those beliefs.
Unified action.

This all sounds intense in some way,
but it's not. 
It's as simple as:
what you do
where you spend your money.

Harmony.
Unity of action.
