East > West

I've been obsessed with Eastern philosophy lately.  Most recently, I've become interested in Taoism.  And then I stumbled upon something that Joseph Gordon-Levitt retweeted.  (Ahh further proof of why he's so awesome) 

           What if money was no object?  

And in case youre lazy, it's a short video on some of the thoughts of Eastern philosopher, Alan Watts.  Basically, he challenges the western idea that making money is above all else.  

"You will spend your life completely wasting your time.  You will be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is, to go on doing things you don't like doing.  Which is stupid.  Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.  And after all if you do really like what you're doing, it doesn't matter what it is, you can eventually become a master of it."

The more I learn about Eastern philosophy, the more I realize I'm not meant to be here, at least not now anyways.  It's time for me to start making my dreams reality.

I'm working on a post to let everyone know what I'm doing with my life for the next year.  I'm pretty excited about it, and I hope you will be too.
