“The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”   -Carl Jung

Came across this quote last week and couldn’t get it out of my head since.  The idea of purpose is one that seems to be passed around from person to person, but a simple statement like this puts it in perspective (even if slightly!) Check out more on Carl Jung here.

Every now and then I come back to this piece written by Elle Luna (a startup techie turned artist) and ponder for a bit.  The crossroads I’ve been finding myself on for the better part of the past 3-4 years have been just this, the fork in the road where one path leads to “should” and the other leads to “must.” If you have a few minutes on your hands, go ahead and read this piece.

I’m not sure what to think about this short.  It’s deep. Visually, I’d consider it a masterpiece that comes together in a VHS-inspired montage.  It speaks on something that I tend to always think about, the good old days.  It’s a beautifully crafted piece of work, give it a gander.

This past week I had a couple conversations with different people about potential, our purpose as individuals, and what it is that makes us come alive.  This visual gem pretty much summed up pretty well – when you know exactly why you were placed on Earth and what it is you’re meant to do, you come alive.  Have a good weekend folks!
