DEAR FRIENDS -- What is real? Loving yourself and doing what makes you happy. End of story. It doesn't matter what you "achieve". What matters is that you enjoy life. Because when you're loving yourself and enjoying life, the last thing you're thinking of is "achieving" things. You're just BEING, open to your flow and in a state of grace. When you die, you won't be thinking of your achievements . You'll be thinking of how much love you've given and received, and how much you've delighted in the journey of life. People only question the meaning of life when they're carrying a burden of pain. Release your pain, learn to unconditionally love yourself, and you will awaken a lasting state of happiness. It really is that simple, but most people are too scared of confronting their pain to do it. That doesn't have to be your fate. Take the journey through your darkness and discover the sun of joy within. Some people define themselves by piling up accomplishments -- fame, money, power, position. But they do it to try and convince themselves that they are "good enough". And so they have all the "achievements" but they didn't have fun! NOT WORTH IT! Believe me, the rarest and greatest accomplishment is being happy and at peace. Anybody who has tuned in to the deeper meaning will tell you that! So don't forget to tell it to yourself! KEEP LOVING, KEEP BELIEVING -- BRYAN
