ABOUT THE BOOK

One can become the richest, most powerful human being in the entire Imaginarium; it will not bring joy. It might bring temporary happiness through the achievement of each goal and aim. The happiness of achieving goals quickly evaporates, and then it is time to move on to the next thing on the list. All of us suffer from the disease of “I will be happy when …” This disease starts early. “I can’t wait until I turn thirteen years old, and I am a teenager. This is followed by “I can’t wait until I am sixteen and can drive” and then “I can’t wait until I am eighteen and become an adult.” Then comes the eventual commencement of college, family, career, retirement, and all the compulsive dreaming and goal setting associated with “I will be happy when …”

Most people go to their grave with their music still in them and procrastinate their life away (Holmes, 1858). Having realized this principle, my only real goal is to look up from my deathbed, grinning from ear to ear, and tell my family, “The life I just passed through was awesome. I had the honor and blessing to be a pilgrim on this planet.”
