Every time I have a conversation with someone where I explore the depths of experience and future options that clear up and open up life and my direction,
I say to myself, “the conversations (the direction-defining explorations) that I have in my own mind during my alone time need to be stepped up a notch to push my perspective and boundaries past where I think I can see.”
If exploration is my goal in most moments, then I will tend to feel uncomfortable and have incredible opportunities to grow.
If I do not conclude my character, I will be open and free.
If my body of knowledge is in constant motion, I will consistently find insights and reason throughout my day.
If I put all my energy into this uncomfortable, free, and undistracted focus of my experience to create an undying wisdom, I will develop love and respect for this life that surrounds me every day without ceasing its unrelenting force.
This I would call satisfying.
This I would call a life full of meaning.
The amazing insight is that this is actually possible for human beings.
We could do this everyday and be incredibly happy with our lives, our relationships, and our character all alone.

There’s a lot of ifs in my dream above. Refer to John Lennon (below) for that:
