The Quest

The quest is based on the book by Chris Guillerbeau, The Happiness of Pursuit: Finding the quest that will bring purpose to your life. What's your passion? What is your souls craving? What is your bucket list? What the fuck do you want to do? I got inspired by Chris's book like so many others and wrote a few things down. Consider it a list of things I want to accomplish. Ya know, the short term and long term crap we tell ourselves in our heads and then aimlessly repeat the same day, the same existence. What are yours? Research, write them down, modify as needed, cross them off and add others....LIVE
