“Then you wake up one day about 40 years old and you say: ‘My God, I’ve arrived. I’m there.’ And you don’t feel very different from what you’ve always felt.” ~Alan Watts
We tend to see life as a journey to a certain destination.
That journey, we believe, is filled with struggle, pain and sacrifice, but once we reach our goal, we’ll be rewarded for everything that we missed in the process of reaching it.
But what if this narrative isn’t true? What if, instead of helping us find happiness, it’s pushing us further away from it? This is the question Alan Watts raises in this powerful and mind-shifting video.
