Being Alive Is Weird, But Also Incredibly Fulfilling
This Hole Experience Is Crazy if You Deeply Think About It, Yet It Is Real
Have you ever had a moment that felt so surreal, a big realization that you thought you could not process?
A moment where you truly realize, “Holy shit, I am experiencing this.” Wow, I am really here, alive. I am experience, and the experiencer.
You live on a “floating” rock in the middle of nowhere, gliding through spacetime at 67,000 km/h.
Around the solar system is literally a big nothing until we reach the next stuff.
This Video from “Pursuit of Wonder” will show you what I mean (4min):
All the while, we are constantly bombarded with news and doomscroll until our minds are overloaded, yet we do not even realize what it means to be a life. (See what I did there? 😉)
We wake up each day, often following similar routines, yet each day holds its own unique set of surprises and challenges.
Think about it. You start your day, perhaps with a cup of coffee or a morning jog. It’s routine, something you might not give a second thought to. But within these simple acts lies a deeper meaning.
Being alive is an odd mixture of mundane tasks and profound experiences. It’s weird, sure, but also incredibly fulfilling.
Sure, it’s not always easy. There are challenges and obstacles that can knock us down. But each of these hurdles gives us an opportunity to learn more about ourselves, to become stronger and more resilient.
There’s a certain magic in the mundane, too. In those quiet moments — a peaceful morning, a walk in the park, a cup of coffee savored in silence — we find a deep sense of fulfillment.
It’s in these simple pleasures that we often find the most profound happiness.
So yes, being alive is weird. It’s unpredictable, confusing at times, and full of oddities, paradoxes.
Life Is Paradoxical, and That's Okay
Life’s full of weird twists, right? Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, it throws you a curveball. That’s the beauty of it, though — life’s a big, beautiful paradox. Take fear, for example. We usually see it as something bad, something to avoid. But what if fear is just a signpost, pointing us towards what really matters?
But it’s also beautiful, exciting, and incredibly fulfilling.
The fact that we’re here, on this spinning rock in a vast universe, able to think, feel, love, and dream, is nothing short of miraculous.
If you still feel big in all of this, then also watch this zoom out video your brain also can’t really comprehend:
Being alive means experiencing a spectrum of emotions — joy, sadness, excitement, fear. It’s a rollercoaster, unpredictable and thrilling. Each emotion, each experience adds a layer to our being, making us more complex, more human.
And yes, life is weird.
It’s weird how we find joy in the smallest things — a child’s laughter, a perfectly brewed cup of tea, a random act of kindness.
It’s weird how we can feel immense sadness and immense happiness, sometimes all in the same day.
But it’s this weirdness that makes life so fulfilling.
The constant need for control won’t get you anywhere but to a place you will ultimately feel unfulfilled. Un-alive. The spectrum of life is what makes it so unique, so colourful, yet sometimes, also very dark.
You Won’t Believe How Dr. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness Can Change Your Life Forever
Have you ever felt curious about the depths of emotion that exist within yourself? Have you ever wished for a tool to help you understand your emotional complexities? Do you think that our capacity to feel is seen as an almost untapped source of learning and understanding?
We’re here to experience, to learn, to grow.
Each day brings new opportunities to understand more about ourselves and the world around us.
It’s in the weirdness of life that we find its true beauty and fulfillment.
Hope you got the message;) See you soon.
