Simply Enjoying Life As it is

A question came up in the from a man in the recent meeting in Totnes: ‘People ask me what my passion is, and I don’t feel that I have one. I like doing a bit of this and that, and enjoying the simple things in life (like a beatutiful sunset), but I don’t have a great passion. Is there something I’m doing wrong?’
It seems that there is a great pressure, particularly on men, but also women, in our society to be achieving something special and becoming someone great. Simply enjoying life as it is, is not considered to be enough. There is nothing wrong with being passionate about life just the way it is. When all goals and great achievements are seen to be essentially only coming from a sense of agitated dissatisfaction, and to never bring ultimate fulfillment, then all you are left with is the ordinary daily human stuff of life. You may get involved in achieving or creating something but, you take it lightly, knowing that no matter what happens, you are already enough as you are.
