October 31 Daily Entry -- The Ancestors Answered

I asked the ancestors for help today, and they have answered. I asked for help to relax and be happy. They said this:

Your life is not pointless just because you have not accomplished something significant. (No one really ever does.) The point of life is not to "accomplish something." It is to merely to live.

The point of life is to exist. To have an experience. To add to our collective knowledge and understanding and experience. The point of life is to create a life, and you have done that.

You have lived a life. You have created art. A thing of beauty. A life experienced.

You have written a book of stories, and every story is of you overcoming. There are no stories of your failure. Only stories about how you continued to live. You added to our collective pot every day.

You are a success. Just be being here. Enjoy life. Don't take it too seriously. (But get outside and take your medicine and see the trees and talk to the ancestors. Feel your body Allow yourself to be happy. Don't always be on guard against future problems. You will handle them when you come.)
