The Cafe on the Edge of the World: A Story About the Meaning of Life

by John P. Strelecky

“Sometimes it helps to look at things from a different perspective.”

“Is it that simple?” I asked. “Once someone knows why they’re here, they do whatever they want that fulfills their reason?”

“In your experience, has ‘doing what most people are doing’ helped you fulfill your Purpose For Existing?”

Why is it we spend so much of our time preparing for when we can do what we want, instead of just doing those things now?”

How much of my definition of success, happiness, and fulfillment had been determined by people other than myself?

“Until you go beyond merely knowing why you’re here, and actually start working towards it, I don’t think you can be fulfilled,”

Don’t ever let things or people drive you to the point where you feel you no longer have control over your own destiny. Be active in choosing your path, or it will be chosen for you. Just move the golf ball.’”
