I came across the site of John P. Strelecky. He is the suthor of The Why Cafe. Its seems he helps people find their Purpose For Existing (PFE) and their Big 5. The Big 5 is the "five most important things you want to do, see, or experience in your lifetime? The five things that would help you fulfill the very reason why you were born?" You have to be a member of his site to experience the teachings, but I found a few tidbits of interesting info. One is to list your 3 favorite movies of all time. This will give you a deep insight into your Big 5 and PFE. And two is to list what you want in life in 3 1/2 minutes. My three favorite movies of all time--I based this on the fact that I could watch it over and over again and still enjoy it---- Harry Potter (any), Three to Tango, and Nacho Libre. Runner-Ups were Snatch, Detroit Rock City, and The Goonies. But the fact that I put the others first must have significance. I wonder how this works, but I'd have to be a member. And that's not free. :(. What deep insights could I gain from Harry Potter, Three to Tango, and Nacho Libre? I'll be tinkering with that for a while.

The Why Cafe

I read this awesome little book titled "The Why Cafe." It was a very interesting read. An eye opener--or mind opener. In short it's about a guy who ends up in this strange, omniscient cafe. The menu asks 3 questions: Why are you here?; Are you afraid of death?; Are you happy? The menu changes to where it sounds like he is asking himself the questions--Why am I here?, etc. The book is about finding your purpose. Ask yourself these questions. I did. I'm not sure if I answered the first one, but I'm trying. Its suggested to try different things to see what you are good at and enjoy. That would be your purpose. Anyways, that is what I am doing. I have always loved to write. I want to write professionally for magazines or do novel writing. SO. I am going to practice here. You will see "articles" on my blog. I beg you to respond and criticize me. I need the encouragement and help.
