What is your purpose?

To quote agent Smith of the matrix“we all have purpose in life, without purpose, life is meaningless”. So far most of people i see live to go to work and spend the rest of the time recovering from work or talking about work. Our lives revolves around work. Your daily mood effected by work, your meals effected by work, your sleeping habits effected by work, even your vacation effected by work.

So what are we? Machines! We life to work and serve work, what about the other thing called life, what about enjoying life, or is that confined to two weeks in Europe? what if you hate working for others, what if you hate office hours, or you are made to like the night and not mornings? What if you are a creator and not a doer? What if you are a leader and not a followers? Do you submit yourselves to the mercy of your boss to recognize you? Do you wait for Mr. Boss to set you free?

There is more to life then this, work should be just a tool, a means to an end. The end is to enjoy life. If this is not the objective, then we are simply machines, we will continue to ran until we break down and be replaced. And what is left of us is an old useless machine dusty and slow. Do we really want that? HELL NO, life is alot more then 8 hours a day, there is alot to see, experince, enjoy, and risk out there. we wasted the past, lets not waste the future. let go after it, all of it!

And to quote Queens “gotta find me a future, move out of my way!”

The Story of Rocky

I always loved Rocky movies; I own them all and I still watch them from time to time (last viewing was with my 4 months old boy). When I heard that they are making a Rocky 6 I thought “please leave him alone”, but when I watched the trailer and heard the music from “going to fly” I was so pumped up and just wanted to see the movie now. With Rocky as the case with star wars, it is not just a movie, it is a lot more. For me, rocky represents the underdog in all of us, it’s a fight between a spirits and the odds. No matter what the challenge is.

There is a new book out called “Running in Rocky's Famous Footsteps” it talks about people making the trip just to ran up the museum steps and rise their arms in victory just like Rocky. It made me wonder, what does it mean to all of these people? Why do I have the same desire to do the same?

I thought about it and I reached a conclusion, standing on top of those stairs and rising my arms can mean one thing, a sense of achievement, regardless what it is, traveling, losing weight, gaining weight, graduate, start a business, building a house, having a baby, buying a car… what ever you fancy, in the end, it is you against you (as the song “burning hearts” says). And when we conquer what we setout to do, we all want to stand on top of those steps and scream “YO ADRIAN …. I DID IT”

The Man

Hello

I have abandon the idea of writing and sharing my thoughts publicly, I never seem to attract the attention I want, but now that I have my own podcast, and giving the success and the huge number of comments I’m getting, I start to warm up to the idea of writing again. Even though I am extremely busy, I think it will be healthy for me to take the time and just write down my thought, so consider this a come back.

The Man

Mission Impossible 3: Tom Cruise missed it again, Mission impossible it about a team, a team that is loyal to a mission. It never personal, it never a one man show, it’s not about family. It is about the mission. In part one, when things went bad, Ethan Hunt, called in and the first thing he said was “they’re dead, they are all dead, the disk is in the open” again it’s about a team and a mission. Part 2 and now 3 is nothing like that. Too Bad
