Wow...the way that ikigai mirrors the very conversations that have been going on this week about walking our dharmic and karmic paths as well as opportunities for presence found whilst cleaning up broken honey bear bottles ("I get to clean these") at the Chopra Center is indeed magical!
PS Full disclosure...I am the intellectualizer who learned from the wisdom of my body how not to ask "why are we ordering honey bottles that randomly and routinely broke in the first place" after spending a great deal of time and presence cleaning up said honey bottles and it paradoxically...makes me smile :)
It's a whole different experience when you buy the bear; every time you use the honey you feel it and imagine a story. Yes, it's a great marketing ploy, but it's also a magical prompt to our emotions and imagination! Lovely story and decision, David!

I love your marvelous story of paradox and purpose Alivyanna.

Thank you Lisa!
Thank you, David. You gave me a wonderful gift with today's Musings, a quote (and story) that I hope to stay with me for the rest of my days.
"Sometimes you just have to buy the bear." - David Marlow
I love that so much! ❤️
It is one of own favorite 'aha' moments. Thank you Tom!
