enlightenment is a choice

I'm constantly looking for inspiration in my life and ways to uplift and enlighten myself. Furthermore any person who says/writes something that makes me reflect upon my life, its course, and inspires positive change is due a certain amount of respect from me. So many of us sit around wondering "when will my time (to shine) come?" or "what is all this for and what is the purpose?" and even "is this it?" well this blogger who's posting I've been hooked on for sometime has a way of putting those questions we all have into perspective as well as engaging us in ways to live our better lives now. not tomorrow or next month. it's uplifting, positive, and all around awesome.

to give you a bit of recent inspiration from Jonathan , so maybe you'll too check out his blog, I've quoted from his latest post...

"This took me a while to accept, but the purpose of life is to enjoy it. If you’re trying to find the purpose of life, by looking for something outside of life, you’re never going to find an answer. That’s because the purpose of life is life.

That doesn’t help you much, does it? We all want a larger purpose, something to give our lives meaning when everything seems meaningless.

The truth is, life doesn’t have a purpose. That’s hard to swallow. When I realized this, I felt lost. I felt confused and I felt like giving up.

What I failed to realize is that life doesn’t have a purpose because of free will. There is no purpose forced on you. You can choose to have a purpose, or to not have a purpose, but life isn’t going to give you one. You don’t need to let this bother you though. The only reason you need for having a purpose is because you want one."

p.s. another really cool thing is that a majority of the posts have small exercises to help you reflect while showing that it is possible to become that person you want to be and lead the life you want to lead.
