In today's episode
of the Big Vision Show,
we're going to share what
Deepak Chopra shared with me.
My name is Max Simon,
welcome to The Big Vision Show.
This is all about how you can
really create the business
and life of your dreams.
So, last week I went for a walk
with my dear old friend
Deepak Chopra.
And for those of you who don't know,
my dad was Deepak Chopra's partner
for the last twenty years.
That is a long partnership.
And they co-founded the
Chopra center,
they wrote a bunch of books together,
they were really great partners.
And when my dad died,
Deepak and I really kind of felt
the gap or the void of him
not being around.
So, I went on this walk with Deepak
and it was really nice
just to connect with him
because it kind of felt like
connecting with my
fatherly energy again.
And I asked Deepak, I said you know,
"What are you thinking about these days?"
And his answer was really surprising,
he said "Max, I realized that
everything in life is meaningless."
Now, of course being that everything
in my world is so much about meaning,
I was like
"What do you mean meaningless?"
And he said
"Well, I've realized that even after
you've accomplished everything,
even after you've made
this huge impact, even after you've
done everything you've
wanted to do, it still doesn't
mean a whole lot.
Life continues on and people
keep growing and evolving
and just things keep happening."
So of course in my mind
I started thinking,
well if it's all meaningless
then what's the point?
And that's what I said to him,
and he said
"Well, the point is two things.
One, it's to have fun and two,
it's to spend time with people
you care about."
So of course me being the
unbelievably inquisitive mind that I am,
I said "What's fun to you?"
And he said
"Oh it's very simple,
making a difference in people's lives,
making an impact and being always
in a space of learning and growth."
And I thought about this,
I really sat with this and realized
that if you drilled down life,
it's pretty simple yet profound wisdom.
If everything we do is about having fun,
which is about making a difference
and growing ourselves and if
everything we do is with people we love,
that's a great recipe for having
a really fulfilling incredible enjoyable life.
So that's my big vision
question to you today.
What do you find meaningful?
What really inspires you
to create this amazing life?
It will be very cool to see
what kind of things really
light you up by posting
your comment below.
Another thing that I'd be
interested to hear from you is,
maybe some questions you have
about what's meaningful.
You know, I find that sometimes
we hear these conversations
but we don't know how it
lands for us individually.
And so, maybe you'd like to ask
a question for me or Deepak
or somebody in this tribe
about how to find deeper
senses of meaning or purpose in your life,
you can go ahead and leave
that question below as well.
